About 16 years ago I stood crying in Glasgow airport, Scotland. I was saying my goodbyes to my family as I left for California. It was so hard! I was excited about my new adventure to California, it was something I had dreamed of for a long time. But, I had to leave behind all the people I loved! My dad told me that one day I would leave California and be crying as I left my new friends behind. Well, that day is almost here and many tears are being shed as we embark on a new adventure to Virginia. We know that God has called us to go and has opened many doors for us. There is no doubt He is in this whole thing. Still, its hard to leave our friends and what is familiar behind. As Tim and I remember memories together we realize that we are so blessed by the life we have had here. It is truly a bittersweet moment in our lives - so excited to go and see what God has for us in Virginia but sad to leave our wonderful friends behind. There are simply no words to express it all adequately. So much is happening so fast. So Anna and I decided to blog - we will blog everyday as we travel to our new home. Join us on our journey and share this new adventure with us! ~Angela~

I was born in California and I am really going to miss it. I have lots of friends and we are having as many playdates as we can before we leave. I am really going to miss our house, our neighbors, our church and my friends. I am really sad about leaving and don't want to move. I am a little bit excited about going our trip across America and getting my own room. I will miss you all ~ Anna~
