and then up to Pennsylvania. It was a great trip. It was like the Lord had wrapped up a beautiful present and gave it to us. He worked out every detail and we were so grateful.
This blog will be about our trip to Kentucky. It is titled "saying goodbye" because when we moved from Kentucky almost 4 years ago, we thought we were moving back there. Well, the plan has changed somewhat over those four years. We still currently own our house in Kentucky, but we are in the process of selling it. We hope to have it on the market next week sometime. It is bittersweet because we loved our home their in Kentucky, but ultimately, it is just a house - the memories will be ours forever, but the house is not going to be. Please pray that it will sell quickly! Also, when we left the last time, we said goodbye temporarily to our dear friends in Kentucky, but now we had to also go and say goodbye because we are moving to another place now. Although, we don't know where that is right now. So, it was a mixed bag of emotions - sadness to be saying goodbye, but also peace that the Lord is leading us in a new direction.
We had two big parties while in Kentucky. The Lord worked this out so beautifully for us. We had one party at Answers in Genesis - where Dave used to work. It was such a wonderful blessing seeing our dear friends from there. We had it at AiG so that the husbands who worked there could just come downstairs for lunch. The wives and I set it up for them. It was just lovely to see everyone. These friends are very precious to us and how we thank God for their part in our lives. After lunch, we got to hang out at the Creation Museum - such a special day.

In the evening of this day we also had a wonderful and precious party with our dear friends from our old church. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures that night, but it was a great time!
The following day, we saw a few more very dear friends and said goodbye to them. We also met with the Realtor to get our house on the market.
Goodbye dear house
