Good-bye Central Street

This Memorial Day weekend we spent some extra time with our church family.  Our community group has seen some people come and go over the last few years but we're still family and we try to live life to its fullest together.  For nearly four years, Jonathan and Heather have hosted our community group get-togethers at their home on Central Street.  They have graciously hosted time after time and we've shared so much in their living room together.  After Jonathan got his job in Ottawa last spring, they decided they needed a place a little closer to his work and also a place to start a family! :)

Story number two...

After Bud and Mackenzie got married in November, they moved into a home about 10 houses down from the Sterks, also on Central Street!  They are beginning to open their home for foster children and they, too, were needing a home available for expansion.   So, to summarize: Two of our really good couple friends from church have recently bought new homes and are moving away from Central Street.  :(  We spent our last few hours in 9120 Central Street last week eating dinner together, playing games in the front yard and, of course, moving!!  Unfortunately, we won't be able to help Bud and Mackenzie move this weekend because we'll be camping at Table Rock Lake... But here are some pics from our farewell parties last week on Central Street:

It was a long, hard day but we got so much done and feel great about getting the Sterks moved into their new home in Paola, KS!
