Goodbye Friend

My friend Jen is moving away today. She is going back home to Seattle. If I were a selfish person I would be sad she is leaving and start throwing a fit. I'll still be sad but won't throw a fit and will be happy she is getting to get back home to her family who I know she missed terribly. It was a fun 2 years. I wanna say that we grew closer over the last 24 months but honestly we were pretty close to begin with and so I am not sure if we could get any closer. We could leave our husbands and take our children and run off to a farm somewhere and live there forever....lol Yeah right one of us would have to get a job and Jen would have to pump her own gas for her car and I would have to.....well I am sure there is something I rely on Steve for but am at a loss at the moment....just kidding. But I still got nothing :)

So she leaves today with her new baby girl. She is leaving her husband behind for a few more weeks to finish school so he will get to stay with us. I am thinking he isn't going to sit next to me on the couch for hours with his laptop not talking and just getting into trouble surfing the net for things to make, kids clothes to buy....ya know fun stuff. That's alright I'll make the kids annoy him so he doesn't get homesick :) and I'll sit on my laptop and pretend you are here.

So goodbye my friend - you will be missed! Have a safe flight. I promise to visit soon. My phone is charged and awaits for the calls at all hours of the day to begin! REMEMBER THE TIME CHANGE FOR YOU!

Let me leave you with one memory that I will never forget.....minding my own business and shopping in Target and all of a sudden BAM - I run right into you -IN MY TARGET -IN NEW YORK! Still freaks me out to this day. I never turn the aisle the same again. Keep praying for me and all my sins - less the 10%...of course :)

Oh my god - I know your gonna hate this picture as much as me - I promise to post something else quick so this isn't the first post for too long!
