I kind of like it quick, I'm not so good with good byes. I remember when Farmington got split up when I was a youngin' and it seemed like it took forever to happen from when they announced it to when it happened and that EVERY meeting, get-together and activity was full of speculations, roumors, and sad good-byes even though no one really knew if they were not in the ward anymore. Most stayed, hilariously, only a couple families went to a new one! I prefer the quick and painless route. We also did that on my mission, where we were told the night before, on a pretty random day, if we were going to a different area or having a change. It was nice you didn't have to worry about it and just kept on with the work.
Anyhoo. People kind of knew it was going to happen just because we couldn't stay as we were long, our ward and a number of others are HUGE. Primary was over 145 kids with an attendance rate of like 95% and apparently other wards were the same. It's funny though because the ward is one of the smallest geographically, everyone within a 1.5 mile area. We'll now it's pretty much half that!
Here's how it went down, we are now in the Westview ward! Everyone moving over to the new ward is released, so we'll see what happens on that front.
Also sadly, Levi is the only one moving from his sunbeam class, though we have 4 classes and hopefully some of the others are moving over too. He's going to miss them as well as his teachers, the Simmons, they are great! But the good news is we still live close to everyone and most of the kiddos his age are going to be going to his same elementary school and I believe all in the same jr. high and high school. And about half of his preschool class is from Bethany, so that will be nice to see some familiar faces.Overall we're excited, a little sad because I am going to miss some of my favorite people ever, but the adventure continues!
