Leaving Uptown...

The official word was sent out today that I will be leaving the Uptown campus and going to the Plano campus (wonder if I can rename my blog??). My peer - Brian - at Plano will be going to Uptown. This is a bittersweet time in my life right now. I've felt such a loss at having to leave the campus that I have been so connected to since November. I've worked hard to recruit the volunteers for the preschool, to get the equipment ordered (and learned) for our setup, and made lots of incredible friends in the time I have been there. It will be a transition that is emotional for me (it already has been). There are so many amazing people who are at Uptown and they have each made an impact on my life. Will I miss the early morning set up? Yes, as a matter of fact, I will. I love the time that we spend laughing together and being picked on by Mary. There won't be anyone to order me out of the cafeteria when I try to change things around at Plano. I will miss the conversations that take place, the uplifting smiles, and the kids...no more Braedon to hang out in the hallway with, no more puppet shows from Jonah, no more laughing at the antics of all of them.

But I know that Plano will have a whole new set of challenges for me and a whole new group of people to meet and love. The kids at Plano will be awesome and so will the volunteers. But I know that I will always hold Uptown and the people there as very special to me since they were a part of my first campus at Fellowship Church. I love you guys!

More to come in this saga...
