Moses Lake

Today we say goodbye to Moses Lake, Washington.  Although to me it seems we have been here only the 9 months, to Kate this is the only home she remembers.  Even Ellie has forgotten little details of our home in Buckley.  To be honest, I was NOT excited to live here.  I saw it as a pit stop and nothing more.  But I can say now that living here was actually very special.  Our friends here feel like old friends and the community as a whole has been so welcoming, friendly, and fun.  Most importantly, this is where Ellie and Kate have learned to be friends and rely on each other.  To me, that is the real gift of our short stay here.  Well, that and all the fun in the sun!  Anyway, we are leaving in a few minutes for Spokane but I wanted to share some of my favorite memories from our time here in Moses Lake.  Our family made SO many special memories!
