Two Years

Two years.  Two years can change a lot of things.  Kids grow.  A family of four can become five.  (This is still blowing my mind.)

We're coming up on our two-year anniversary in our new town.  And today I took the kids down to the river to check out the new playground.  I remember going down there two years ago - when I didn't know anyone here and was desperate to fill an afternoon, or even an hour.  I sat and looked at the city skyline in the distance and wanted to cry.  I was so close, but so far away.  I felt isolated and trapped.  Today I lifted Gabe up for a better view and thought, God we live in an amazing place.  And the city's so close!  Two years.  And nothing has changed more than me.
