Well, we had to say "goodbye" to yet another uncle!!! I sure do wish they would stick around more often!! Joey boarded a plane on January 11 headed for Italy!! He will be stationed there for the next 3 years! Now we have 2 uncles across the pond!!=) We are definitely going to have to get our webcam working!! Olivia had grown so close to both of her uncles before their departures! Which made it even more sad to see them go! We look at pictures often and she can definitely let you know who they are! I think the webcam will be so fun for both them and her to really see each other in person. Technology these days is amazing!!!
We are looking forward to getting to visit Joey at some point over the next 3 years in Italy!! It seems as though he is already settling in! He found a place to live and has spent most weekends traveling around neigboring countries! I'm sure he is living it up on the slopes too!!! I know these next 3 years are going to be so exciting and adventurous for him!! What a fun journey and a great time in life to do it! It will be so exciting to watch the next 3 years unfold and see what God has in store for you Joey!
I've posted the only picture I got before my memory card was full at the airport saying goodbye to Joey. It sure is a sweet picture and says so much about his relationship with Olivia!!! It was such a bittersweet moment for all of us I think!! As excited as we are to see him set out on this journey God has so clearly put before him, it was also so sad to see him go knowing that our hearts would miss him so!!! We really did get spoiled seeing him so much around the holidays! OH, but how those memories will be cherished over the next several years!!!
We miss you so much Uncle Joey and are looking forward to planning a trip to see you!!! Take care of yourself and stay safe!!!
