saying goodbye is hard to do

This week I had to say good-bye to friends and family - some of the people I love being with the most outside of my own little family. I know I will see my family again someday, but am not sure when that will be. We don't have any upcoming trips to Utah planned and we aren't going home for Christmas. Maybe next summer? A year seems too long to not see our families. This is the reason I am so bummed today. We took my mom to the airport today and I had to watch her until she was out of view just so I would remember what she looks like until we see her again.




My bestest friend Linnea and her family moved away this week. Yes, this picture of us is bugly (butt ugly) - we were crying a lot, saying our goodbyes - but I had to put it up because this is the only picture of us I have. We've gone through a lot together, she will be a life-long friend, as well as her son Dixon to Ty. I don't think I have a friend that can make me laugh as hard as she can. She's super happy and upbeat, honest and caring. It is hard to be the one to stay behind. I am feeling a little empty today.



I need visitors! Matt's mom is coming this month - super yay! And we will be seeing Linnea and Emily this month as well - double yay! C&K, Eric, B&M, Zacc, Cynth, Sarah Morgan, will you come visit? Anybody who wants to visit us in Indiana, we have a room just for you! And I promise you good times, free food and my lovely self!

Saying goodbye is sooooo not fun. At least you will be kept busy for a couple weeks with traveling and Matthias' family. I'm glad you are able to see them. We love you all too much, and thanks again for the wonderful time in Indiana.

This is mom by the way. Chris must have posted his comment at our house this evening.

This made me so sad!! I am lucky that my parents live only 5 hours drive time away. I have not been back to Indiana in nearly 2 years and kick myself everyday for not making plans to visit the family.

aw, I'm sorry you're feeling so far away. I feel that way from my girlfriends from school, who are scattered from Utah to Zambia right now. Anyway, we're still here if you need to pass a lonely afternoon. This weather is awesome - so much more reasonable for an afternoon outside.
