Saying Goodbye is so hard...
These past few months have been really sad for Bria and me. A few months ago, Bria's brothers moved across the country. When I say brothers, I mean that they were practically brothers and sister because their mom and I were practically sisters. Jana was always there when I needed her and whether our kids were fighting or too loud, we still hung out almost every day. So when they moved, it was a HUGE adjustment. Erik and Bria would still run to their house and knock on the door hoping they would still answer. Erik even tried to run into the new neighbor's house once to find Jana. Bria asked to play with Bryan and Tyler every day. Erik kept saying, "Kyle..." There were many tears and many memories that we wish we could relive. We miss them so much and wish we could just go outside and ride bikes again!
This is Bryan, Tyler and Bria hugging like they always did, very rough.
Tyler and Bria only a couple weeks after meeting each other. We always said they would get married!
This is Jessie, Bria and Kevin sitting on her couch together watching a show. They are so little!

And this is Kathy and Jana, my two dear friends that I am going to miss so much. I am in tears right now and can barely see the screen! I am so blessed to have met these amazing women. They have been the most incredible examples to me and I have learned so much from them. I never thought it would be so hard to say goodbye, but I am so blessed to have friends/sisters for life.

It is so hard to say goodbye! I can't believe everyone is moving. We should do more together
First of all...I'm at work. Second of all, I am crying.
Seriously, we feel the same way. It was so hard to say goodbye, and I still find myself everyday wishing I could call you to go and play. I think this has been the hardest move I've ever had to make and we've moved a lot. My only hope is that one day we will get to be neighbors again, we just have to get our husbands in on the game plan. I feel so lucky to have made a life long friend I think people are lucky to find one friendship like ours in a lifetime. I know the Lord put you in my life for a reason and I feel so lucky to learn from you and become a better person because of your example. I miss you tons and can't wait to see you. My biggest goal is to prove Derrek wrong and stay close forever!!! Love you!!
Awww man, you can't do that to me Jenilyn. I refuse to be that depressed again. I was seriously depressed for a long time after the Bailey's moved. And now I find myself doing the same thing with Kathy that I did with Jana...going to call her to hang out or going over to their house and then sadly remembering that she isn't here. :( *sigh
But something that cheered me up were those adorable pictures! Okay, now I believe you when you said Eric was chubbier. Seriously, so cute. And Bria and Kevin's little baby faces and hair...makes me wonder what Conner will look like in a year and a half.
I resent that Jana.
