In 10 days, the Trivitses are packing up and heading out back across the country!
For this next season of our lives, especially now with Baby Number Two on the way, we are feeling the particular importance of being near family. So, we'll be starting the next chapter of our lives setting up our home in Delaware!
We are excited, too, to be closer to friends from college, to prioritize Kevin finishing his education, and to continue serving God wherever we land!
Even as we look forward to being back on the east coast, though, the feelings are bittersweet.
We will miss Colorado.
This is our home.
Kev and I moved out here six months into our marriage, and this is where we added Bilbo and Daphne to our family. We became a family.
And that's not to mention the family we found out here.
Dear Starbucks family, you will never know the impact you had on us, on me. You loved us as only Coloradans can. You accepted me as a friend when it's been hard for me to make friends. You took care of us when Daphne was born. You welcome us back every time we stop in, even after I stepped back to be a "stay at home mom". Thank you for the friendships, the laughter and good conversation - but thank you for the community. (P.S. Howard Schultz, I think, would be proud.)
For the families that loved us at First Baptist: we will miss you, and expect to stay in touch! Thank you to the youth group for a fun (though sometimes challenging) two years of ministry. Not a few of you made an impact on our lives - you know who you are. We love you and will see you again.
Goodbye, Idaho Springs, you crazy little mountain town. Thank you for Tommyknockers, and football games, and long walks by the river, and fireworks, and your quirky, interesting, genuine people. We hope to see you thriving whenever we come back for a visit.
By faith, we made our way here. And now, by faith, we journey on.
