Good bye dear friends.

This week we said good bye to some of our dearest friends.  I met Alison when I was 8 months pregnant with our first born a little over 9 years ago.  We were both due the same week.  Landon and Jenna have been friends ever since and so have our 2 families.  Alison and I have enjoyed playing soccer together, (she's an awesome forward.  We have been home schooling together for the past 7 years along with our other crazy home school buds.  I have enjoyed getting to grow together through reading the entire Bible with her and discussing it every week for a year.  She is always ready to do something spontaneous and will always be the last to leave any party (which I love about her).  She is totally unpredictable and that really makes me laugh.  She is very transparent and real and is so much fun to be around.  Her husband Ethan has spurred on great conversation and thought for the men in our fellowship and has truly been a Godly influence to challenge the way his friends lead and raise their families.  They have 5 adorable kids which we will all miss.  Instead of saying goodbye, I have decided to say see you later.  I know that they are lifetime friends and it will be fun to keep in touch with them and visit them on their farm.  We love you guys and know God has great plans for your future.  Here are some pics from our week.

I love Alison! I met her at the HOPE co-op. I was so sad when she said they were moving.
