Leaving Little Rock





















In just a few short days we will be leaving Little Rock and the place we have called home for the past three and a half years. It has been a great time here in Arkansas for us. Doug has done well with his job at the Little Rock tower. We have grown as a family with our first baby growing into a young boy and the birth of our baby girl who is getting bigger everyday - she's hardly a baby at all anymore. We have made lots of friends here and had a lot of good times. Lots of laughs and joys and a few tears too. Little Rock has seen a lot happen for us and for the first time in almost 12 years of marriage and life together it will be a hard place for us to leave. I will miss our home here and our town - the convenience of having everything I want or need just a moment away. I will miss seeing the tower where Doug worked, the hospital where Rachel was born and the school that Noah attended.... the park where we played and all the memories we've made. The joy that having Amie close by has brought in the last few months as well - We will miss her and her family so much. Ofcourse the upside of moving is that we will be in a nice town with a nice new home just a very few hours from our family in Tennessee. We are looking forward to visiting more often than two or three times a year. Doug is very excited to be starting work at the tracon and getting settled into the training process. We spent the last week going to all of our favorite places and a few new ones here in town. We explored this bridge downtown and took some awesome pictures of the skyline. The kids enjoyed walking across and seeing the submarine, the river boat and the barges in the water. We took photos of a lot of our haunts here in Little Rock, including our favorite coffee shop, our favorite pizza place, Noah's school and lots of other places that have meaning for us. It's been a good three years here and we look forward to what Georgia holds for us. This will be our last time posting from Arkansas. Check back in a few days as our adventures get started in Georgia!
