Tonight we took a little journey around my favorite parts of Wichita. I don't know if it was to say farewell or get some closure on this chapter of our lives.
I found myself driving through the enchanting homes of Eastborough and College Hill. Through the tall buildings of downtown, the unique shops of the Delano district, the historical Hotel at Old Town-where we were married, the lively Crown Uptown theater, and the sweet-smelling Spice Merchant to name a few.
So many memories here.
I know that I may gripe a lot about Kansas. But one thing I will never gripe about...the beautiful sunsets in our wide open skies.
We will miss you Kansas. This is where we've called home all of our lives. Where well-traveled roads lead us to the doors of our families. Where heritage takes us back to cemeteries of loved ones who've passed, and through the trails that once lead generations before us onto this land, a land they deemed their "garden of eden".
It may be all we've ever known, a soft spot seared in our hearts forever. And most importantly a wonderful starting line on our life's journey.

We have so much to be thankful for. The life and experiences that we have had here. The family and friends that have made this home. With our excitement comes the sadness of goodbyes and closing of this chapter. But we are excited for the next one, the new memories that we will form. One thing is certain. Kansas-and everything in it-will always hold a special place in our hearts.
