Change in the weather.
Change in the seasons.
Change in the colors.
Changes in life.
Just recently we found out about a huge change....our very dear friends are moving. We met them not too long ago, but from the moment we met, our lives were changed for the better. We met them at their son's 4th birthday party right after school started. Max and Matthew were in the same class. We hit it off immediately. Our lives were so similar. We shared the same values, family size, and our children became very close. Max and Matthew are only 3 months apart and our daughters are only 6 months apart. We have even become so close that we decided to travel together. They went with us to Walt Disney World this past April. We were even briefly pregnant with our third child at the same time (being only 2 weeks apart). Then, about a month ago, we got the devastating news that they were moving to the Atlanta area in just 2 short months. It is quickly approaching. We are going to miss them tremendously. However, we know that our friendship will last the distance between us. I found it very fitting that this picture was taken at Matthew's 6th birthday party...exactly 2 years from when we met them....yet it seems like we have known them for a lifetime!
This is one of my absolute favorite songs and I think it is rather fitting!

John, Kim, Matthew, and Elizabeth...."because we knew you, we have been changed for GOOD!"

That was really sweet. :)
Happy Birthday to your prince :) Happy WW
I know what you mean. We had close friends move away last summer and it was hard. The nice thing is that there's always a new place to visit, right?
hey there! sweet post...i am sure they will miss you just as much!
BTW...wanted to compliment you on your writing...i know you said when you started this blog that you "weren't a writer"...but, i have to say, i think you are doing fantastic! i can see that you put LOTS of thought into your posts, and can really see big changes, (though i always thought you were on to something in the writing department :) love the way you are able to really help your readers be in the moment with you in a succinct, thoughtful, colorful way...anyhoo, just my 2 cents...keep up the good work!!!
hope all is well!

I've never heard that song. It's so pretty and she has a beautiful voice.
Sweet Allison, I know from experience that they will miss you just as much! Since moving back 'home' a year ago, we have desperately missed our friends in GV and catch up as often as possible with visits, etc. What's crazy is that we haven't really found new friends here - and I'm from HERE! You guys continue to be in my prayers... <>< your cuz, Jenny
We have stayed close to friends that we moved away from 27 years ago. Some friendships will withstand anything!!!!!
Allison,
I too feel very sad that they are moving. Justin is devastated that the 3 boys will not be playing Clone wars at lunch! Great post!

I realized during mass yesterday that we don't have that much time left. I guess I finally slowed down enough for it to "hit me." I know Matthew is going to miss Max so much, as well as Elizabeth missing Cate (aka Tate). We are going to miss you so much, but I know we will stay in touch and visit each other often.
