Move-A-versary.

That’s right.

It’s been one year to the day when we pulled into Bismarck to begin our life here. And what a year it has been! Not sure if I would have signed up if I would have known all the crazy that ensued! But knowing the future is not how we were designed and therefore, we must trust. The doesn’t-want-to-battle part of me hopes this next year is a bit calmer but regardless, I hope the next year allows us to make Bismarck our own and call it home. Having our own place is a fantastic start, thank the Lord. 

We left these sweet folks.

We left our lives where friends were family, where we had no roots, where we were outsiders welcomed, where we tried make it our home despite our lack of southernness, where we experienced loss and life. It was our time to come back to NoDak but I’ll leave it at this, one year later: South Carolina left a sweet taste and we look back fondly.

One year ago we were welcomed by this land.  

It’ll always be easy to remember exactly when we arrived last year because the next day our sweet niece, Alexia Maelee, was born! Happy day-shy-of-One sweet girl! We love you!
