Bye Bye Bloomington

The past 2 years have been a welcomed adventure. I have loved it here! I had lived in Idaho my entire life and I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. But I can say, it has been one of the best experiences of my life. We have grown so much here.
There is so much to explore around us and I don't feel like we even got to do half of it! Here are some of my favorite places we got to visit and some things that made Bloomington special for us:

Nashville, IN

Louisville, KY LDS Temple

Biking everywhere

Monroe Lake -- Wish we would have been able to do this more.

Churchill Downs

Chicago
Chicago - Cloud Gate

Willis Tower - Glass Ledge
Bloomington's Parks - They have so many it's hard to pick one.

Kelley Kids Activities, Playgroups, and Parties



Neighbors - We've had great ones and we have loved
evening play parties.

Play-dates with neighbors/friends.


Visit's from GG and Pop-pop

I would pick a bunch for this one...
but alas this picture will have to sum it up.
All the fun trips to the close by cities
we have been to around Bloomington.
This one is our recent trip to St. Louis
It's been great here.  I'm really going to miss it!  Bloomington has really felt like home to me. PA has some big shoes to fill!
Over the past week as I've thought about leaving Bloomington, I've realized it's not the places I've seen that I will miss the most... it's the people.  We've met some really awesome people. We have made some really great friends.  The community is super and there are good people everywhere you go. The people, students and staff at the school Briant attended was so very kind and helpful. That's what made the difference for me in Bloomington.  The people. That's who I will miss the most.
We left Bloomington yesterday morning.  There were no tears for any of us.  We are all excited for our upcoming adventures in Pennsylvania.  But no doubt we will always remember Bloomington and the wonderful place it is.
