Leaving Atlanta

I don't even like writing the title to this post.  It still makes me sad and lonely to think about that fact that we packed up our whole house and left Georgia.  We lived there for 4 years which is longer than we have lived anywhere since being married.  We've been gone over a month now and it's still hard some days.  We miss our friends a lot, especially the Heinholds.  We became great friends with them over the past few years, such good friends that we now consider them family. Hayden still cries because she misses her best friend Savannah.  Before we left Atlanta we got these best friend necklaces for the two of them.

Before we left, Stephanie Heinhold was nice enough to throw us a goodbye party.  Here are some pics of the food and festivities...

How cute are these two?  Michael and Reid

On November 8th our movers came and packed for 2 days, loaded for 2 days, drove for 3 days, and unloaded in Omaha for 2 days.  We had the same two men for the entire process and grew to really enjoy their company.  They were great men and very professional movers.  We liked them so much we told them we were definitely requesting them again next time we moved.  Jeff built Hayden a pirate ship to play in, drew pictures on the boxes in her room, let her see inside his big truck...Seriously went above and beyond.

After they loaded everything on Tuesday I began the cleaning process.  Paul and I got most of it done and then that night Stephanie went with me to finish up the last of it.  Here we are saying goodbye to our house.

Tuesday night and Wednesday were spent with our favorite family.  They were so kind to let us sleep at their house, eat their food, and enjoy their company.  On Thursday Stephanie took us to the airport and we said goodbye to Georgia.  Even typing this a month later and tears well up in my eyes.  We have moved 5 times since being married and it never gets any easier.  I get to attached to people and then it's so hard to say goodbye.  Thank goodness for phones!  

I know we will grow to love Omaha as well, but we are still mourning the loss of Georgia at the moment!
