A new lease...

On life. Yesterday we took our little girl to Findlay, Ohio where she signed a lease on her first non-college apartment. It's one of those bittersweet, cool/hard things. In a couple weeks she begins working at Winebrenner Theological Seminary (my alma mater). So, we helped her find a place to live, set up a new bank account, stopped by the drivers license place, etc.

It's weird, because it was almost 11 years ago exactly that our whole family moved from Buda, IL to Findlay. Carrie did her entire middle school there (6-7-8), and almost 8 years ago exactly that we moved here to Fort Wayne. Hmm.

It will be different not having her around again, even though she's basically been gone for 4 years already. But she'll always be our little girl. Look out, Findlay, here she comes! :)

Well hopefully we won't have any pictures of injuries (see brother below) anytime soon.

I'll have to say hi when I am out there for class in October. At least I would get to meet someone I have read about in blogworld!

Tammie,
Yes, do stop and introduce yourself. Carrie Jade reads here regularly, so I'm sure she is aware of you. I think she will be manning the middle area of the upstairs. Plus there's probably not too many Horwedel's around there. :)
