Goodbye my almost lover.

Tonight is the last night I will here in Memphis for some time. *tears!!!!!* We will miss it here so much. The people, community, places, food (oh, the food) and our family. We have really grown to appreciate and love it here. We are so thankful for our deep friendships that we made here and for all of the lessons we have learned. This time has been such a blessing. Thank you to YOU- our friends and family here- for all of the love and support you have shared with us! We love ya'll (man i've lived here too long.) so much from here to the moon. And we are so happy to call this place our first home. Now we are off on a 2 week road trip across the country. We will be living in California for a little bit until we are ready to go to Spain. We are praying and trusting in God that he ill provide every penny we need in His perfect timing! Please pray with us that we get to Spain in August! Our God is a god of amazing miracles and we believe and Him to provide us with the money we need. Thank you Memphis for you love. I leave you with sweet words to comfort you when we are apart. May you rest in the peace of knowing that we are so small and that we really aren't that far apart.

I see the moon

The moon sees me

The moon sees the one that I long to see

and God bless the moon 

and God bless me 

and God bless the one that I long to see

The moon is shinning so bright

and it seems so far away at times

But if I see the moon and you see it too

we must close

oh oh oh

we must be close

Love, The Pattersons

ps. these photos are just some of the great memories, my old computer that has most of the photos of our time here is deeply packed away into our car. But these one will do just fine.
