...reality is setting in...

we're moving. and it's getting more real. we've been interviewing (well, the wesley board has been interviewing) candidates for steve's job and reality is setting in. they actually have narrowed the candidates down to two, both of which interviewed all day today and attended wesley tonight.  i can hardly believe that steve only preaches two more times before we leave!  i've kept myself busy the last few months trying to keep the house clean, perusing resumes of potential replacements, looking at georgia homes online, and trying to sell our house-- basically busywork.  so much so that i haven't actually spent much (if any) time reflecting on our five years in orlando and the fact that we are only two months away from a big change. we've made amazing friends and have invaluable relationships with students and post-students.  and there is the reality that this is the only place the girls truly know as home. there are people here that are family to us.  a new chapter in our lives is coming, and it's all good, but there is an undeniable comfort in the familiar. and life as we now know it is almost over. i'm sad about that.  i think it was seeing the two potential replacements meeting our people today that kicked it in for me. like i said, it's all good. right?  i keep reminding myself.
