mountain biking and pretty trails





rembrandt's



pretty fall colors



driving across the bridge to work



downtown



wally's and their awesome home cooked meals that were just 2 blocks away from our house



$3 movies cause who really cares if they're a little bit older - they're $3!



joy and jason
and our pizza nights. and late night cookies. and sundays. and meeting for supper when i'm getting out of cooking. and visiting churches. and finding a church.
and introducing ourselves at church as "james, jessica, joy, and jason" because it just always made people smile.

and these sweet girls

i really can't say enough. just that we feel totally blessed with their sweet friendship.

cause only amazing friends volunteer for this



normal park



and the awesome girls that i got to work with. i couldn't have picked better girls. such a huge, amazing, ginormous blessing to walk into.




talking marriage with these guys

and laughing a lot.



a classy cici's pizza (cause you can't beat a $4 pizza buffet, although the classiness of this particular one did take out all the entertainment value...)

richmont



cute 2nd graders




the mountain views




and the view from my classroom



exploring



not having much apt to clean :)


lots of snow days




casey



and our adventures to the mountain opry



and did i mention the views?



but definitely the thing we loved the most and that we'll miss the most is the sweet friends we made.
because it's always the people that make the place.
