Gary and Jim grew up together. Jim married Karla. Karla and I were instant friends. They had Naomi who we adore. Then they had Nathan and we had Lyla 2 months later. All the kids get along fantastically!
I think it is so rare to find a circumstance where two families can be such good friends. Karla and I can do our thing, Gary and Jim do their thing, the kids all play. Its just perfection.
And this is why it kills me to say that they are moving. Not just a little move. To Canada. And not just across the border, across the border and really far away. A 40 hour drive. A $1000 plane ticket.
Its going to be hard to have them so far away. I'm so excited and happy for them. But the selfish part of me is sad that they are leaving us.
But this weekend we got to spend it at their house for one last time. We do this every fall and always look forward to it. We do get to see them once more before the leave, so this weekend was all fun! I'm saving all my tears for the next time! ;-)
