It's Not Good Bye

It's not, it's not good bye, but more like see you later. It would hurt too much to say good bye to a home, friends, neighbors, and ward who have treated us with so much love and tenderness. They are more than friends, neighbors. More like family. We've been through a lot together. We simply can not replace our friendships. We'll make new friends but we won't be replacing. Impossible.

We hate to leave but are excited for our new adventure. It'll be amazing...at least we're hoping. And if it's not we'll be back in 2 short years. We're glad it's Utah because being the Mormons many of us we are it seems many have connections to Utah meaning we'll hopefully get phone calls to plan visits and spend the nights. And for those of you who aren't and don't have connections, we're your new connection and will be hoping and crossing our fingers for a visit.

In keeping our farewell brief because there's just too much to say...I'll leave it at see you later.

It seems like such a sad post :( I'm so excited! Seems so weird to have such different emotions! You are such a cute family you will have NO problems making friends here in Utah. I can't wait to hang out with you guys more! Hang in there, i am here for you :)

See you next week! You're gonna get sick of us calling you when we're in town.
I want to plan to help you do some unpacking or hanging pictures, or anything else that needs done. Be thinking of which day next week works best for you. I'm good every day but Monday.

Oh My Goodness, We miss you already, just knowing you aren't available, but you look at the reward, not the problem and in 2 years the reward will be sooo great. So good luck with all that comes your way and let T and T know that GG and Old Papa love them
