My First Goodbye

Today Landon had his 9 month check up (a little early) with our Pediatrician Dr. Chun today. Landon is a big and healthy boy weighing in at 22 lbs. (80%) and is 28.5 inches (75%). But at the end of the visit I had to say my first goodbye to someone we have met and got to know out here. I kind of got a little choked up because of many reasons. It really hit me that we are leaving Virginia for good in just a short 3 weeks and in that time we are going to have to say good bye to a lot of people. I have just loved our pediatrician out here. I got to know him very well after Ashlyn was born and through her problems after birth, I think I was at his office once a week for about 3 months when she was little. He has always been so calm, positive and reassuring, I really will miss him and hope to find another doctor as good as he. But besides him, there will be lots and lots of people that I am going to have a hard time leaving, we truly have LOVED it here. The last 4 years I can really say have been some of the best years of my life. I have made some of the best friends I have ever had, and have depended and leaned on them like family because we haven't had any close by. Occasionally I find myself thinking maybe we should just stay here because we do love it so much. I am excited to move back home to Utah and be with all my family and friends, but I think I will be leaving a big chunk of my heart in Virginia.
