#9 negative - distance from family




august will be the last month of the sky is big in pasadena.  

i have accepted a position at salford mennonite church in harleysville, pennsylvania.  we will be moving in september, so august will be my farewell month to the city of pasadena.  when we moved here from virginia i posted a list of the ten things i would miss most about harrisonburg.  i figured that would be a good way to end our time here, so each day i will be doing one final rundown of life in this great city.  i have prepared two lists - ten things i won't be sad to leave behind, and twenty of my absolute favorite things about pasadena.  i am going to start with ten positives and ten negatives, alternating back and forth each day.  concluding with my top ten things about life in pasadena.


#9 negative - distance from family

let's face it, we knew this would be an issue before we even moved here.  pasadena is far from where i grew up, and far from where meredith grew up.  we've made friends here that are like family, but we still miss those who we love dearly.  we won't miss the distance from our family.

heading north of the boarder


i'm heading out of town to visit my family in ontario, canada. spring break for fuller students means i've got a bit of time off - perfect because my parents are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary and i get a chance to spend some time with them. sadly, meredith will not be joining me this time.

i'll be back in pasadena before long, but in the meantime i've got some excellent photos lined up to share with you.

see you soon.

UPDATE: see you sooner than later! due to some pre-term labor issues, i've decided to postpone the trip and stay here with my wife. she is doing fine, but we think it is best if I stay put. your prayers and thoughts are appreciated.
