Can you tell...these three little munchkins have become the best of friends the last 9 months? It is so much fun to watch them play. They get so excited to see each other and giggle and laugh until it is time to say goodbye.

Sadly both of these families are on their way to have new adventures in life. The Catherine's have already taken off to France where they were welcomed by lots of family and friends who missed them so much...and now I'm here missing them like crazy! Then we have the Hale's, they have been awesome friends here in Norman and they are finished with law school, passed the bar and got hired in a town 2 hours away, Altus. They pack up the truck tomorrow and are off. I am thrilled for them, but sad to say goodbye. 2 hours is a lot better then the Atlantic ocean though so I will count my blessings and look forward to some promised Temple Trips/game nights. :)

This gathering was for Dawn's birthday and we all showed up at her house one night without her knowing for some cake, games and some NBA big screen T.V. action. It was a great night.

What I will miss the most???
Watching our kids play.
Laughing hysterically at Antoine's jokes.
Hearing Dave's random knowledge on everything.
Craft nights at Sarah's, she is the scrapbook queen and has everything.
Going walking with all the girls in the Spring & fall.
Ward Choir. Good times. Good times.
Trips to the Zoo.
Those 2 sweet boys visiting our pew each Sunday at church.
Watching them dance at birthday parties.
Their wrestling matches with 'Uncle' Barry.
Ooooh I could go on forever....sniff sniff.


GREAT FRIENDS.
Hard to find. Difficult to leave. Impossible to forget.

Laura, I LOVED these posts...I hope you are doing ok, and I am sorry that you have had to say goodbye to so many good people!

From the looks of your posts you guys have so many good memories together!!! I think goodbyes are some of the hardest things ever! It reminds me of when our foreign exchange student went back to Japan...it almost felt like a death in the family, but we have seen her since then and when we get together it feels like no time has passed at all. It's great! Laura, I think it is something to be said to be a friend and have friends that mean so much that it is a sad thing when your paths go different ways.
