When we moved here {almost two years ago} quite a few friends came with us ~ Matt and Liz, Justin and Micah, Dave and Melissa, Curtis and Erin…

One by one, they have returned to the promised land {Texas}. I miss them.

There are a few left {We love you Truett, Jerry, Bones, Lynn and Justin} thank goodness for friendly faces… but today I miss them. I was going through pictures and found this one of Nate and Loki {Matt and Liz’s dog}.

It made me think of all we celebrated while they were here…

Random trips to explore AZ…

Matt and Liz’s Engagement…

Justin and Micah’s engagment…

Rachel’s Fourth Birthday Party…

{Note – one of the best things about friends with four children… you can have a birthday party with just the two families because you just moved and you don’t know anyone else to invite… and it still feels like a party!}

Liz’s Wedding…

Thank you all. I miss you. But. I am so thankful that you helped me transition to the desert {physically and emotionally} by celebrating our lives together and becoming an extended family. Thank you for being kind to my children and for keeping me company through all the craziness!
