Friends

I'll get to the move, but before I do, let's talk about some stuff that happened before the move. I want to start with our bestest friends who we had to leave but who we love so much, the Jeppsens. We met the Jeppsens just after we moved to Indiana and right before their oldest was born. Luckily, Heather liked to craft and Ben liked to talk politics and play video games and they both liked to be incredibly awesome. They have been such a support to us, and we really do consider them to be family. We are seriously trying to convince them to come to Vegas and move into our basement (that is, when we get a basement). Regardless, we're going to miss them like crazy. And now, I will show you our last week together and attempt not to cry. Don't get me wrong - we're glad to be here, but it's hard to leave those you love.

We went to the park and walked around, partly to enjoy each other and the weather, but partly to avoid the whole moving thing. Emily, my favorite 3 year old, wanted me to take her picture.

We decided to do a murder mystery dinner together as a last hurrah. This is Ben and Heather in costume.

Deg and I in costume - check Deg's sweet mustache!

The four of us, in costume and ready to go.

We wanted to get a picture of the kids together. I love Emily's cheezy smile.

Emily is in love with DJ. Seriously, she always wants to see him, hug him, talk to him, touch him... Once, she even gave him a blessing - seriously, the cutest thing ever.

The two boys, Ethan and DJ. We've already decided they're gonna be best friends and mission companions and college roommates. 

We went to IHOP right before we moved and we got the waiter to take a picture of all of us. We seriously love these guys and are so going to miss them.

Emily drew DJ a picture, but wanted to keep it. We asked her to smile for a picture and this is what happened. Ba ha ha ha!

Luckily, we got her to smile for real.
