They'll be leaving here in a couple of days, so this past Sunday the church hosted a going away cookout for them. They were gracious to invite me...something I love about those church people!
They didn't toss me out as a friend when I felt God prompting me to go to another church instead.
Here I am with my scrapping buddies, Faith and Sarah.
And here I am with Amber. Since changing churches, I haven't been able to see her as much, but she is still a very dear friend. I remember when her youngest, Isaiah, was a baby, and she would bring him over to my house so she could watch Alias - one of her favorite shows. Since I didn't know much about Alias, I had fun playing with Isaiah and she had fun watching TV! She was also my chick-flick buddy, since Nate wasn't interested in them, and I didn't have a buddy to watch with. We lived not far from each other, and I loved driving past her house on my way to any given place and waving to her...
The cookout was yummy and it was fun to catch up with the church buddies again. Toward the end, a water fight erupted. It began with the tiniest little water balloon and escalated to super soakers, garden hoses, buckets, even coolers! We grown-up girls were the smart ones. We clutched our purses and cameras, wadded up into a huddle and declared it the safe zone because you can't get cameras wet!
I'm so glad I got to be part of the day....these guys were so much fun to see!! (I can say that because I stayed dry...)

:( I'm going to miss them SO much.
Me too. :( But am still glad that the party meant I got to see YOU!!!!!
That's true!
Aww, Bekah - it's always hard when friends move away. This is FAR away, so that's super hard. Thank G-d for telephones, internet, and postal service! Oh yeah, and I've heard great things about Skype!
HUGS for you to hold onto as you say bye to Amber and Nate and Isaiah.
