Good -Bye Hershey

Today I went running on my favorite trail here in Hershey for the last time. It is so pretty here and I am really going to miss it. I have run this trail so many times running past the duck pond, and up through the nature trail past Shank park. This is my time to think and also to pray. It is running on this trail where my best ideas come. Running has always been an outlet for me and the pretty scenery was an added bonus. Yesterday was my last day at church. It was a really sad day for me. I did really well until relief society. I was standing in the back of the room holding Aaron and I looked around at all the women sitting in the room and I thought about how each of them had taught me, inspired me, helped me, and been my friend. Some of them I have come to love very much. I was grateful for the many hugs I recieved and for all the sweet sisters who cried with me as I said my good-byes. It is so hard to leave knowing that many of these people I won't see again. Yesterday I also spent a lot of time reflecting on the last four years here. So much has happend and we have changed and grown in so many different ways. When we moved here Laura was four months old. She is now four years old and Steven and Aaron were both born while we lived here. It has been a wonderful, difficult, trying, and fun four years. Hershey PA we will miss you.
