farewell friend

My favorite friend is moving. (Don't worry, you are my other favorite friend.) 


She is moving tomorrow.  Not down the street, not across town, but to another state.


I am sad.


She has taught me how to better serve, how to OVER serve, how to wrap a present, and to not feel ashamed when your emotions are pure and you need to cry.  She has been my friend for just over a year, but I feel like we've been friends for a lifetime.


She has also taught me how to gracefully lie when someone needs it.  She is the first one to tell me that I am crafty, smart, pretty, and thin!  Can you believe anyone tells me I am thin?  It's no wonder I love her so.  She is the best kind of liar.


I will miss her terribly.


Being left behind stinks.  Leaving is harder, though.  So I hope her travels are safe, her new home is hers soon, her children adapt well, and that others see how wonderful she is quickly.  I would love if she started some sort of a blog so I could keep up with her life as she has promised to keep up with ours.


{side note: everyone out there that thinks you feel like you've kept up with me because of this blog, but you don't blog/update/email: SHAME ON YOU!  I have no idea what's going on with you and I CARE, too! So email me/update/something!  love and hugs}


Boo! to moving friends.  Hooray! to new opportunities for said friends.  Woot Woot! to awesome friendships that will last no matter where we live.
