The Myatt Family Farewell

Today was a pretty sad day for us at church. The Myatt family will leave for Chicago on Monday so Bill can pursue his doctorate at Loyola. I am happy for them, this is what they have wanted since they came to Omaha. Although Bill was a great pastor, I think at his heart he is a teacher. We have had a lot of friends and family leave us while we were a family, but for some reason this one seems different. I think it is because we have been through so much during the time they were in Omaha. Today our senior pastor did a I remember six years ago speach....well I remember six years ago too. Six years ago I remember going through the membership class at Brookside, and the Myatt's were in that class. I remember soon after being in the same small group talking about the struggles of marriage and how we can grow as couples. We have shared the joy for each other as our families have exploded in size from a total of four to a total of ten. We have had some parties that I'll never forget (matresses and watermelon). We have also been through struggles together like the split in our church, the leaving of other freinds, and the destruction of families. I never knew Bill as well as I would have liked, although I love him just the same. The thing that I think I will miss most is the relationship that Sarah had with Melanie. We all changed so much in the last six years, but that is for the best. We had time to grow with each other and to grow in our relationship with the Lord. I love those guys and they will be dearly missed.

Still Testing

I am sure this blogging thing will get easier. I am trying to work with photos now. Everyone has Flickr, but I will be the odd one and go with Picasa. By the way, does anyone know how to rotate photos? Peter looks pretty cool, but I don't want to turn my head to see.

First Time Blogging

It seems as though we are getting on this bandwagon late, but I though that it would be interesting to join in the blogosphere. I have enjoyed catching up on everyone's lives over my lunch hour and I know that Sarah likes to stay involved while at home. As we age and our family increases in size we have had the opportunity to develop relationships with a large number of people. Unfortunately we have not been able to keep up with all of these relationships as both our family and friends get spread across NE, the US and the World.

The purpose of this blog is to keep people informed on basic life events in the Caruso family and to relay general musings and complaints (primarily from me) on subjects that matter to us. If you get annoyed with improper use of the English language, posts about our children and their events, prompt daily blogging, or sometimes mindless ramblings of a Seinfeldesque nature you probably won't like this blog. But if you like us in person, you will probably be interested in what we have to say.

With that....welcome to our Blog.
