We had been thinking of looking for a new home for over a year. Then seriously looking for about 6 months. Then actively looking with a realtor 2 times a week for 2 months.
When we finally found "the house", things moved really quick.
Our last day in the 3rd ward, most people were learning that we were moving for the first time that day. I was totally fine and excited about the prospects of our future ward until I saw and talked to Lucas' teacher. As soon as I saw Jill and her tears, I lost it.
Jill and I became friends when I served with her in Young Women's 7 years ago.
She's been a dear friend ever since.
Jill has been teaching Lucas' primary class for 1.5 years and he loves her.
They always had a special connection. It must have been the red hair, right Jill?
Anyway, it broke my heart to see her so sad that we were leaving and that she couldn't "watch Lucas grow up!" Thank goodness for blogs... because now she still can from a far! :)
Lucas and his sweet class...

Lucas and Jill his primary teacher.
We love you Jill!!!!
