Left behind :*(

I've never been the one left behind before. I've always been the one to travel, move, and leave other people behind. Not saying that it's easy because it's soo not. When I moved from PA to NC, ON THE NIGHT OF MY GRAD FROM HIGH SCHOOL, that was the closest to the end of my life as you could get...i thought. But when you move on to a new place the newness, excitement, and adventure of new places and friends definitely helps lessen the pain. You have a lot of things to look forward to and experience. On the other side of that however, are those left behind... I know I sound tragic but stay with me! You basically have a hole where these people use to fill. If you hung out with them on a regular basis, you now have days, nights, moments to fill where you feel a very real emptiness or sadness for what use to be. 

       Ok, lets just say it like it is. Tanya, you have grown to be my closest friend here and I love you so much. I miss you already because I'm starting to feel the separation as it gets closer and closer.  I will miss meeting you for breakfast, and when we do our girls breakfast together there will be a definite void where you used to be. UGH, I hate this! I am going to miss our Sunday night 'panic' group SO much! A sunday night won't pass without Eric and I thinking of you and Lamar and the times we've had together. You guys have been 'our couple'! haha I love that so much ;) We adore you guys; Your hearts for God,  Your obedience to the Father to go wherever He calls you, your ability to get together on a moments notice, haha. We just love you and what you've brought into our lives. We will miss our garage parties with you and our ability to 'let our hair down' with you guys knowing it's just a vent fest and wouldn't leave the garage. I just love how we can be totally ourselves around you, enjoying every minute. You guys rock and I hope you know just how much you'll be missed. We were talking the other day about how awesome it is that on Sundays we don't even really have to talk about what we're doing. We know we're hanging out with you and that we'll be eating pizza and junk food, and drinking a combination of diet coke, Mt dew, beer or whatever else there is. I love that we don't have to discuss it...we just know! :) We love you guys and will always cherish the moments and the memories we've shared. 

      I know you're not dying...just moving, don't get me wrong. haha We can't wait to come to Peoria, have you show us around and hang out there with you. We are so excited for you and can't wait to see what God has in store for you. It's gonna be awesome. <3
