Our good friends Steve and Lauren are moving to North Carolina this week. Today was the last time they lead worship at Journey and after church we went over to Lauren's moms house for a going away party for them. Ever since we found out they were leaving I've been more excited for their upcoming adventure then sad to see them go. Today I was sad to see them go. Saying goodbye to Lauren today was hard. This is a girl whose friendship I value greatly. I love how down to earth she is and have always felt so comfortable around her. Even if I don't see or talk to her all week I can count on checking in with her on Sundays. I won't be able to do that anymore and that makes me sad. I will miss them so much but I guess life goes on. So many people I know have had friends or loved ones move away or been the ones to move away but this is the first time I'm really experiencing having someone close move away. No matter what I really don't want to lose touch. I WILL call and hopefully Lauren WILL blog and I will comment on her blog. It's times like these that I'm so thankful for mindless TV so I don't have to think or dwell on the current happenings of my life.
Lauren if you're reading this (and I know you are because you're one of the 7 people that read my blog) goodbye. Please know how much you are loved and how much you and your family will be missed. From a girl who chooses not to cry in public today was a hard one. God bless you guys on this new journey!!
