Saying Good-Bye

When we moved here two years ago, I told the kids this was it.  This was the last time we would pull them away from their friends, their school, their ward...etc.  Well, we found out this summer, that even though we could control what happened to our family (well, to an extent at least), we couldn't stop their friends from moving away from us!!

We had to say good-bye to some of our absolute best friends a couple weeks ago.  They had five kids, three of which lined up with our three exactly...and they hit it off perfectly.  They truly were an answer to our prayers when we moved here and didn't know anyone.  We are really going to miss them, at church, at school, at soccer, at carpool...oh gosh, this is going to be rough.  At least they just moved to Portland...
