We had our first friends come to visit!
We were so excited and honored that the Pylants took a special roadtrip
to come see us last week. It was so nice to see them and so special to get to share our new Columbus life with some Decatur friends. It was especially nice of them to come after they hit a large piece of metal on the highway on their way here and had to spend almost 2 hours getting their tire fixed!
It's always something, right?!
We had so much fun....
We jumped on the bed....took a road tour of Columbus...got ice cream...and
laughed and laughed and
laughed!The Pylants are so very special to us and it made us all so happy to see them.
It has, however, seemed to have made Lillianna and Bibby realize their distance from eachother. They both have been having a more difficult time in the past week. On our end, sweet Lillianna will break out in tears and then sobs saying,"I miss Bibby. I miss our house, our neighbors. Decatur is so far away. I miss everyone in Decatur. It's going to be so long before anyone comes to our house again." It really is heartbreaking but part of the process. We talk lots about our feelings these days and about our many blessings we have to be thankful for.
It seems to help us all.
We also talk about how special it is that we get to keep our old friends while we make new ones! AND we get to make new memories with our old friends too! Just like we did with the Pylants.
So who's coming to visit next?
