Farewell Fayetteville

 And we're off again!

It took us a little bit for the Martin Crew to make Fayetteville home after leaving such a strong community in Las Vegas. In the end, though, we put down roots and they took hold! This is a hard goodbye, but we have officially started our journey back to our Vegas Parkies!

We spent the last two weeks seeing as many friends and making as many memories as we could before hitting the road.

Vania and Luan have become such dear friends. Vania has been so generous to our boys, including putting together a fabulous going away splash pad party.

Summer Life. Soccer Life. Friends for Life.

Sweet Frog with Sweet Friends

I'm so glad we were able to match up with the Challens one more time before hitting the road. The dads were both working, so we'll just have to have them out to Vegas so we can get everybody together again!

Popsicle fun with the Garcias and the Hernandez-Chapas!

It started to rain after this. Core memories made for my boys, who had their first rainy trampoline adventure!

Our little unicorn

Mikel was our first NC sleepover and our last as well. We really think of him as one of the family.

Teaching us his Pierro's pizza skills. It runs in the family, for sure!

The boys wanted to do VBS with their last week so they could see as many friends from Village as possible. It was strange to be just a parent and not a volunteer, but it definitely helped me to check some things off my list!

Mia joined us for VBS pick-up. She has been such an amazing neighbor and friend.

I know we will stay in touch!

Another goodbye hang went down at Urban Air

We are so grateful for our amazing friends

Big hugs!

Before we hit the road, we celebrated Father's Day with the best dad around.

We did a cookout with a fire pit and let the boys chop down our old rocking chair to add to the fire. We set up tents for backyard camping, but it was just too hot!

Daddy has the best ideas!

Jan flew in to start the journey with us. She has done the first leg of every cross country move with the boys.

Daddy love!

The boys made 3D Mario landscape cards for Daniel. They turned out so amazing!

The Garcia Group stopped by for one more hug before we hit the road. It feels like we have always been besties, even though they just moved here last summer. We are so grateful for the year of memories we've made!

Huge hugs!

We wrapped up our Fayetteville chapter with How to Train Your Dragon in IMAX

It was incredible!

Someone is super excited to have a pool again (and carpeted stairs!)

We are planning to take it slow and make a summer vacation out of this long cross-country drive. First stop, Atlanta! Cousin time, friend time, pool time, good times.

Here's to our next chapter!
