THIS IS NOT GOOD BYE

We have made it to Florida. We found a house last Wednesday after looking at many houses. The market in Florida is unbelievable. Our family down south has spent many uncountable hours looking for a house to fit our family. I'm not sure how they did this. Only two days looking, Curtis and I were ready to throw in the towel. It's look likes every other house has a pad lock, no signs, the grass so dark and long the land looks empty. So many houses to choose from but not really sure if someone is going to pull a fast one on you.Thank you Aunt Mel, Jenny and Dad. From the beginning Curtis and I both believed God has been on our side, this was his plan. Knowing this and praying, things kinda have been falling in place for us. I'm not saying we both haven't been so stressed, looking at each other really not sure what do to next. Or asking ourselves if we are doing the right thing. Losing both of our jobs in April, deciding within one week we would pack our house and move to a state a thousand miles away with no job and no house. Are we nuts or what. Leaving a family that is so close to our hearts. Leaving my mom who I see everyday if not several times a day. Leaving friends that I love and care for who have became part of my family. Grandparents who love and treasure our children. I'm not really sure how to explain what was going through our minds except it felt like the plan we had to follow. God's plan for our family. Looking for our house seemed to be the most stressful. Last Tuesday I looked at Curtis and said I can't do this anymore. We need to found a house today. The stress of not knowing was breaking us down. I grabbed Curtis's hand and said we need to pray together now. We said a pray asking God to please show us the way, to guide us to a house that should be our home. Within hours we had two houses that we fell in love with. We trusted in God, he would bring us to the right place. I hope everyone of you can come in our new home and be blessed. For everyone one of you have blessed us. Kristy my dear friend, the women I have come to love more like a sister. The women who loves my children as her own. My children are going to miss you as I. Thank you for everything you have done for our family. Thank you for being so unselfish. Thinking of what was best for the kids and not yourself. For taking 36 hours out of your life to be with our family. To make life a little easier traveling to Florida. I'm not sure many people could or would just pack there bags and fly across the country because someone was scared to go by themselves. (I don't think I could) Mom I love you with all my heart. I'm going to miss you everyday. I'm going to miss being with you when I'm scared or just need a friend to talk with. I'm going to miss my kids being with there grandmother and Pape knowing when they feel a little lonely there always loved in your arms. You always understood everyone gets scared and sometimes kids just need to be hugged and loved a little extra. Tim know you made the right choice. You have always been a part of our lives. Not always thinking of yourself but how the outcome would be for all of us. Oma the kids are going to miss walking down the street and just walking into your house saying you-whoooo. I'm going to miss when I need something I can go to my own personal QVC store down the street. (P.S. I really do live down the street from QVC now.lol) Mema and Andy I know you love watching the little ones. I'm sorry for taking them from you. Know we love you and please know you can visit and we'll be home to visit soon. Mema be good and DON'T LET THE MIND OF YOUR GET AHEAD OF YOU. I'll be sure the kids call you. I hope to get the computer up so you can see them on the screen. We'll miss you. My little Tori, Haley and Devon your going to be missed everyday. Know we love each one of you. Know no matter how far apart we are from each other we can always get to you if needed. Coral and Canyon ask about you everyday. They want to get on the plane to spent the night with you at Grandma. I hope one day this will continue. Please have mommy or daddy call us when you miss us. Christina and Jeremy we love you, I hope you both get to visit us here. We're going to miss the get together laughing and watching the kids play. My Reisher Family, I've only get to spend a little time with you. I'm going to miss each one of you. Grandma I love you and hope your able to visit sometime soon. Be sure to bring everyone with you. Just no parks this time around. Maddie, the kids are going to miss you so much. I wish we could have spent more time with you. I hope you can really visit in the summer. Be sure to call us. Scott and Heather we hope to see you soon. Thank you for all the help. We'll miss you. Dad R. thank you for listening to me and always being there. Now maybe I can talk you into moving South because it's warm here. I can only hope this to is in God's Plan. My dearest friends (I hope you know who you are) the stories I hear in your voices on the phone knowing you need me to be by your side to help you through life as it becomes difficult. My heart is with you everyday. I wake up asking God to be with you, I think of you often. Know I love you and I'm always here for you. My new friends for have I lived a very short time in Chambersburg, the last year I've grown in my faith because of you. These last two months we found out how God brings people in your life maybe only for a short time but for a reason. Our class on Wednesday's I'm not sure how to explain the feelings Curtis and I have for each and everyone of you. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. Our family for sure would not be here today without your help. I hope our paths didn't only cross for such a small amount of time. You will not be forgotten and hope we see each one of you in our new home. Aunt Chrissy wow I'm not sure how Curtis and I could have moved our family to Florida without you. You were a blessing to my husband as this was the most stress on him. He had many sleepless nights thinking how are we going to bring our family belonging to our new home. I know times are very tough for many right now, what you did for us is so heart felt. Thank you again. King Street Church (J.H.), being apart of a family that is so loving, caring and faithful. We are so proud to call King Street our home. Not many churches can help the families in need. King Street has a group of members that help there communities when people are in need of food, money and etc. Not ever did our family think we would be apart of that Sunday morning meeting. Thank you for being a church that's so powerful in helping theses in need. I have to say leaving King Street was on the top of the list of reason not to leave. Mr.B has really made a difference in our family. His messages every Sunday was a lesson in life, a teaching of God. I could listen and learn for hours to a voice so powerful with a true meaning. The praise band WOW, worship with music. You can really feel the power as you listen. This band is a gift from God. I truly hope one day I can hear your voices in our new home church. Karen my friend who I only really got to know for the shortest amount of time. Thank you for sharing with me a new part of the bible I didn't really know. For being apart of my family when we needed it the most. You are a very godly women. I only hope one day I can inspire someone as you have for me. I hope our friendship can continue. Lastly thank you for everyone who was able to share our last weekend with us. I still believe we are following God's plan for our family, but it's hard to believe that he would have us leave such beautiful people as you. The book you all give us is a gift from the heart. This is something I know I can share with my children, how wonderful friends and family are in this world. I will treasure this book forever. I know tonight in the middle of the night I'm going to sit straight up in bed saying to myself I forgot this person. I'm so Sorry. Know I care for each and everyone of you, you've made a difference in our lives and will not be forgotten. Please know everyone is welcomed into our home. WE LOVE YOU!!!
