Moving Day...

We moved out of our home of 4 years in Forest Acres on January 31st, 2009. Although we were really excited to be closer to my parents and our friends, it was a really difficult weekend. We were very organized for the move and had already moved a lot of the smaller items and boxes ourselves. We had the most incredible neighbors as well as a beautiful home and neighborhood in Forest Acres. That was the home that we brought Thomas home from the hospital too and made a ton of memories at. Our neighbors were so wonderful to us and love Thomas so much. Even though we didn't spend a lot of time with them, it was always so comforting to know that they were there. About a month before we moved, I hit a concrete block with my car way after dark about a mile from our house. The transmission was ruined and I couldn't get my car home. Thomas and I were alone in the car, I couldn't get in touch with Bobby, so I called one of our neighbors. They came to get us right away and let us wait in there car while I waited for and spoke with the police and the tow truck. It was way after Thomas' bedtime, but they kept him occupied and happy in their car so that I could get those things done. The Howle's were such a source of encouragement for us and we miss them and the rest of our neighbors immensely. Thank you all so much for being such great neighbors- we couldn't have asked for more! Moving day was incredibly emotional for me, but we are definitely enjoying being closer to family and friends!
