Goodbye, is sort of an ironic word. Is it good that you're saying bye? It wasn't for me. The last week in WA was crazy, packing the entire house for our big move to CO. My sweet amazing friends came over to help me, I couldn't have done it without them. I dreaded the day I had to say goodbye to my closest friends, I think they dreaded it even more. We went out to eat at Fondi's and back to Gail's house for my last girls night. Gail was first, how could I say goodbye to someone who told me like it was, who gave me advice, who was there for me every step of the way. It sucked. The next day Christena and Rebecca came over to finish some last minute packing. Allie, Ada, and Riley ran around playing for the last time and of course when the time came for Riley to say goodbye to Allie they were having one of their little spats. Luckily it ended quickly and they gave each other a hug. I teared up just watching that. Then Rebecca had to leave, I pretended like I wasn't moving. I held back my tears because I couldn't bear saying goodbye. We met when we were both pregnant with Allie and Riley and became the best of friends. I could be myself and count on Rebecca like my family...she is my family.
Lastly Christena, I was just becoming really close to her and love her so much. She has been an inspiring, positive person in my life. Always willing to help, always with a smile.
I'm crying just typing this. There are so many more friends I love and treasure that I will miss, you all know who you are. I couldn't have made it in WA without you all. Our families were all so far away but I felt like I had family there.
Here's one of the few pictures I have. Love you guys.

Amen! Gig Harbor is full of really ,really wonderful people. I'm glad your great friends (who I also call my great friends!) were so meaningful to you. The wonderful thing is that there are so many really incredible people in the world, and you'll find many in CO. And you'll hang on to all the friendships you've made in your time in WA. Best of luck to you and your cute family!
What a wonderful photo! I'm glad you made such great friends, and when I visited, I had the opportunity to meet them too. You were very lucky to have found each other...so now another journey begins. The house looked very nice. Love the trees and shrubs put in strategic places. I hope there is someone out there that will love it as much as you did.
It saw alot of comings and goings....
