Saying goodbye is hard!

This is a picture taken a while back with some friends on a Mommy night out.  We decided to head to Red Robin and just had a great time to talk without little ones.  Ashley (the one on the left) moved before I was able to really get to know her, but Allie (the one in the middle) is a really good friend that I have been blessed to get to know over the years.  Her and her husband, Erich, have been such a blessing to our family.  We had to say goodbye to them last night.  They are going to follow God's calling at a church in El Dorado Hill, CA.  They will be near family and doing what God has called them to do which is amazing and wonderful for them.  We are sad that they moved but only for selfish reasons!  We have become attached to them and have just so enjoyed their friendship it will be sad not to have them over on Sunday nights and play Wii, talk church stuff, practice worship, play Texas hold 'em and whatever other craziness we would do.  I am not very good a goodbyes.  I have a hard time expressing to people what they mean to me until they are gone.  So, Allie and Erich, we miss you and love you tons!  You are such an amazing couple that God is going to use to do great things (as He already has).  I am so excited for your new adventure and I hope you flourish in your new home.  (and don't forget your friends in CO :)

Monique I know I am 4 years exactly late but I just read this and it made me tear up! You and Greg still mean so much to Erich and me! We talk about you two often as we remember some very sweet times in Colorado! You have no idea how much those Sunday dinners and that time together meant to us! God still uses those times to remind us of how He has always and will always provide for His children! Your love and friendship toward us was such a deep answer to prayer!!! You two are such an amazing couple, and such a strong light! We miss you terribly!!!
