less than a month

do you ever find that when you look back in time, it seems to have flown by, but when you're looking forward (especially to something exciting - like moving home after being oceans away for over 16 months as an example) time seems to crawl by day by day?!?! that's where we find ourselves right now. crazy to think that it's been 15 months here on statia and that we have less than a month left, but cutting those chains off every day makes it seem like moving home is still a dream! haha

not sure if we'll "miss" cleaning our feet every time we come in from outside and getting baked to a crisp by this hot caribbean sun, but definitely some memories we'll take away from this amazing place :)

hahahahahaha i love this picture! no, we will definitely not miss that tiny little couch, but it's very statia, and we will miss that!

 

walks to church and the amazing group of people that we got to meet with while we've been here is on our list of things we'll miss for sure! we loved our sunday walks when we didn't have a car, and we love our 1hr 15min meeting time along with the spirit that we felt whether we met in the wonderful erickson household or in the 4th term classroom at the school :)

snorkeling - love it and will miss it!

instead of counting the geckos on gecko wall for our outings though, we can't wait to go and feed the horses again!

seasons! haha we are super excited to go from our shorts and t-shirts to jeans and hoodies while we play in the leaves and…...

give the wonderful beautiful cold and delicious snow another chance! beckam's always hated and been terrified of the snow, and we can't wait to force him to build snowmen and go sledding and learn the true art of being from southern AB!

meat! i know this steak is all cut up and not cooked and it's kristen holding it, but we don't care how it comes, we just can't wait for meat again!!!!

27 days and these boys will be reading this book with their grandmas :)
