I will miss....

Although we are thrilled to be moving, there is much to be missed about small town life.

We never planned on living here for 3 years, but it has ended up being the best 3 years of our lives. It has also strengthened our marriage and faith. We have grown enormously in these three years, have learned to slow down, to enjoy life and not waste energy on the small stuff.

I will miss...

Our veterinarian. She was fantastic with our pets. She really cares about them and our family. When we found Punky in shock at home on a Sunday afternoon we called her. She did not hesitate, "I will be right there". She and her son spent the rest of their afternoon at Punky's side, her son standing watch and petting Punky as she was being treated.

I will miss...

Our small town post office! We never have to wait in line. We can receive mail with just "J. K. or T. Ryan Brownell, KS. If postage is due and you have no change, don't worry the postmaster will spot you without a second thought. If you time it just right all the most current gossip from the town can be caught up on! Trent is gushed over at every visit. And the antique boxes we get our mail in are just plain cool!
I will miss....My in-laws living a block away. (I know many of you cringe!) But my in-laws are fantastic. They have been a HUGE help, love Trent and he loves them. They will drop anything and everything for us without question. Family is the best!

I will miss...

Room to roam.  Trent loves being outside.  Here we have plenty of space.  He will push this wagon around the yard until I get bored and make him quit!  It is also quiet and private. 

Some nights it seems the sky is all stars.

Some day we hope to return to the country life, but for now...city here we come!
