Today

So I was pretty excited to move until I went to church today and realized how much I'm going to miss everyone. It's not like I'm moving far, but still it's going to be a big change. It took me so long to get to know this ward. I was not active when I moved in and a few years later (thanks to my sister) I started going to church. I just want to really tell everyone around me how much I cherish our friendships. My kids have made great friends here too. If anyone wants to visit us in Alpine please do!
Looks like we will be moving March 22, that is Easter weekend though so we'll see.
I'm totally crying while writing this so I guess I'll be done.

I was driving by your house today...and it made me sad to think of someone else living in it. I'm like Heather....I hate people leaving. :o) I know you're not moving FAR away....but it's still sad for us. I feel like you've been right there, so close....and I am just NOW getting to know you better. I felt that way when Gina left, too. I took it for granted that she was "there"....and then she was gone. I really think you are such an amazing person...and I value your opinion on everything. You have such cool and refreshing ideas.... Promise to stay in touch, and continue to do things with all of us. You're so brave.... I'm too scared to move right now. I don't want to leave my comfort zone. Aren't I a dork?? Oh well, it's the truth. I wish it weren't 2:30 AM, while I'm writing this...and I'd go get you a treat to cheer you up!! :o) Thanks for being my friend.....and I'll be sad to lose Kasey too, where I'm just getting to know her. HUGS

Its is hard to move! But you'll do great. Just think of all the new friends you can make! And you've still got your blog to keep up on everyone.

Good luck with your move! It is hard to move, but it's also an adventure. It sounds like you have some amazing friends!

I have seriously loved getting to know you. You know that I will forever be indebted to you for taking care of Annika. I'm sure you know that not just anyone can have a talent and patience and love to be in nursery. YOU are my hero for that. I admire you and your sense of humor. Of course we'll keep in touch. We're both blog-addicted. Can we help with your move? We'll be here that weekend, and would love to help.

I am sad too! Everyone that is close to me moves! Well at least you will still be in the same state!!! Talon is going to be so sad to hear that his best friend Asher won't be just down the street anymore. :( I will also need to find a new babysitter :( I love our friendship and how we under stand each other. Having our kids go to the same school and carpooling has just been awesome! I am really going to miss you !!!! Thanks for everything you are a great friend!!! We will still need to do girls nights together!!!!!

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. That would be really hard to leave the house and ward where your kids has been for most if not all of their lives. I hope you are all able to adjust quickly so your fears can be put to rest.

I have totally loved being your visiting teacher, friend, and neighbor (I'll miss Kane's show-and-tell with his toys :)). I'm really sorry to see you go, but I know you won't have any trouble getting the people in your new neighborhood to love you and your fun family. Best wishes - good thing you have a blog to help us all stay in touch!

Oh Steph, I am so bummed that you are leaving, I didn't really care before because I was moving too! And now that I'm not - you can't go! I have loved getting to know you better. You are so gorgeous, I'm in love with your hair, you are so real, not one thing fake about you, which I LOVE! You are awesome and don't worry, we will have girl's nights, you won't miss out on a thing!

Moving is an emotional roller coaster. Just be glad the selling part is over. I'm sure you will enjoy your new area, especially with your sister close.

Ally said...

This Bites! I know I don't know you TOO well, but I'm still bummed. And I was just getting to know Kasey too! (She's a doll by the way) ;o( So sad. Oh, I've always wanted to tell you that Brady really did love you as his nursery leader. You were so good when he would just cry and cry. You brought him through the rough times. :o)

Stephanie, I'm so glad I finally got to know you in nursery. I miss you in there. And we'll all miss you in our ward. Keep up with the blogging so we don't Really lose you. Hope the kids were good for you on Sunday. Thanks for your help. You'll have to come back to the ward some time to see us. Good Luck in your new area!

Andrea said...

Like Carrie, when I drove by your house I was wondering if the people that was moving in it were as great as you! I am so glad I have gotten to know you. I think we have a lot more in commone than we know! Atleast I might see you in a drive by picking up our kids :)

Heidi P said...

Sorry, Steph. I wish I had words to comfort you. I had a hard time in church this week too. I just wanted our old callings, old friends, and no stress. But we are learning. Your family will grow closer, and it will be an adventure. Plus, I am happy you will be closer to me! Wohoo! Hang in there. I will super miss your fun backyard though. Until the next one. : )
