I know that it's been coming for awhile now, but it's always sad when the unfortunate event (no matter how expected) actually takes place. Our friends, who also happen to be our neighbors, are moving to Indiana. They're part of the reason that we moved into the house we did. We liked them, and most of the other neighbors, but them most of all. I know that it will be easier for them, and that they'll have family close by. But that doesn't make it less sad. Ok, I'm just selfish. I know it. But let me mourn for a bit. When my brother moved in November, I tried to convince him and my sister in law to leave their kids. It didn't work on them, and it probably won't work on our friends either.

Good luck Sara and Ernie and Samuel. Indiana is so lucky!
