Our Group

Last night was our last Thursday night with our wonderful community group. As usual, we had a great time of food and fellowship, and we're really going to miss it.

One of the main reasons we love Gainesville so much is because of these people. When we first moved here, we found this amazing group of 8 couples who were in the same stage of life and who were interested in similar things. With the people in this group we've had great meals, we've had great talks, we've had a few cries, we've been camping - twice, we've prayed for each other, we've trained for and run a half-marathon, we've canoed, we've been to springs, we've had lunches on campus, and through everything - the fun and the serious times, we've truly grown to love each other.

The group has dwindled to four couples as we've watched friends move away for different jobs and programs, but this summer with these eight people has been sweet, and we're going to miss them dearly. Lauren and Everald are moving to New York City on Monday; we are moving to Pittsburgh on Thursday; and Sarah and Danny and Kim and Steve will be here in Gainesville. So, we will be living far apart, but we know our paths will cross again, and we look forward to that day.
