I spent my last few days here just hanging out with some of my besties. Lots of laughing for sure (you know whenever Leslie is involved, there will be lots of laughing!!). I've moved around a lot in my life (pretty much every 3-4 years) and have friends in many, many states :) When I was younger, I was the best pen pal- I'm a pro at writing about the nothingness that happens in my life! I kept in touch with friends from Culpeper (junior high) four or five years after I left and still know what's going on in most of my high school best friends lives. Things like email, Skype and Facebook make it a little easier to keep up with people once you move yet life happens and you just start to drift apart and invest in the relationships that are right in front of you. But sometimes you meet people that you know are going to be friends for a lifetime and that's how I feel about these girls. What's an ocean amongst friends, right? I love you girls and will miss you tons!!!
Probably the toughest thing about this move is having to say goodbye to my sister and her kids. Lyddane, you are my best friend and I'll miss you more than you'll know! Don't let Britt, Jacob and Kali forget their Tia who loves them so much!! Sadly I don't think I have a picture with all 3 kids at the same time :( I didn't think of that while I was home.

Thank you Stacie! You are such a wonderful woman and an inspiration to so many people. We will miss you more than will ever know. You have been the best Tia, and the kids absolutely adore you. I will make sure to keep you updated in their lives. They will love to Skype with Tia!
ReplyDeleteLastly, I want to thank you for always being there for me. It is going to be so hard not to have my best friend here to go eat mexican food, or watch movies with, or just hang out at home with. You have been an ear when I needed to vent and a shoulder when I have needed to cry....I will miss that!
You have been given a great opportunity and I know you will rock it...you always do :) September 16, 2010...I'm there!
I love you Stacie!
OK I think reading your blog is helping the reality of it all hit me. It still feels like you're just gone for the Summer still. Oh how I'm going to miss you Stac. I think you are right-we will always be friends. Friends like you don't come every day. I love you so! Skype with you soon!
