The changes in our life continue…

This next one is a great change but also a difficult one. As we prepare to head back to Denver, Colorado in two days, I am realizing that I won’t really believe it until we are sitting in Micah’s parents house in about two weeks and we haven’t gone back “home” yet. It typically takes me about two weeks before I truly feel a big change like this start to settle in.

The past year has been chock-full of changes. Most were wonderful and some were not. Saying goodbye to my mom as I know her on this Earth and leaving Pablo behind in Dallas were the hardest. Although, as I sit here in what I consider the best apartment we’ve ever lived in, and look around at our life stacked in boxes, I begin to think I’ll look back on this as one of the harder moments. These walls contain the memories we’ll cherish for years and years to come.

This is where I labored for six hours dreaming of the moment we’d finally meet our unborn child, this is where our parents met Max for the first time, this is Max’s birth city and the first real home he’s ever known, this is where Micah mastered rock climbing, surfing and beer and cheese pairings, this is where Micah and I both made meaningful friendships that will last forever and even became Godparents to friends we met just four years ago. But, this is anything but “goodbye,” this is an honest-to-goodness “see you later.” The Day’s will be back often, frankly because we really did leave our hearts in San Francisco.

On a similar note, here are some pictures from the wonderful farewell party that Sonia gave Max at the park this week. She really is the best and I know Max will miss her so…
