Friends

My buddy and neighbor, Natalie, moved far far away from me this past weekend.  My pre-move denial is officially over because she is really gone now.  She's not coming back.  Her house has been taken over by somebody else, and I can no longer wait outside for her to come out of that red door so we can run together.  

I will miss the annual Christmas caroling, the 4th of July bike rides, Cross Country and track meets, Boise River floats, birthday lunches, morning chats while running, dinner/movie date nights, and so much more.  I wish we could do a 2nd annual ugly sweater party together.  The first one rocked.  We were meal group members, Primary presidency workers, trailer co-owners.  Good times! 

Natalie, Kris, and I have been BFFs for about 7 of the 8 years that I have lived here in Meridian.  It is sad that we will be separated, but thanks to texting, phone calls, and road trips, we will stay connected and continue to always be friends.  

Here we are having one last run together just the other night.  

And here we are through the years.  I love these girls!

More fun times to come!
In the meantime... I will miss you, Natalie!
