Here's a throwback for you - the Hope's Going Away Party that EmilyBrower & I & our Moms threw for the Hopes before they moved to 'Bama last year. I've had these done for awhile, just never got around to blogging them. Then I had Becs & Shannon over for a few days last week and they were looking through pictures on my Mac, and found these. You would have thought it was the 2nd landing on the moon when they found them. And then I made them stop looking at them and promised to blog them really really really soon. Aka: ASAP. Hahaha.
So here's December 20, 2013 in all of its Florida glory. My memories of that day: just being really happy that our gang was together, and having fun together, even if it was the last time for awhile.
We had Boylan sodas. My favorite.
All in all, we miss Lauren & the Hopes a ton, and wish they would move back. They moved a year ago this Wednesday! But we are also glad and thankful for the ways God is using them in their new home and how He is leading them through new things & new journeys.
We love them so much. This past week I've missed hanging out with Emily & Lauren so much more. Best friends are hard to come by, those who love you and want to be with you on adventures and share joy & sorrows. I'm so thankful for both of them in my life!!
(But I'd totally love it if we could hang out soon, haha)
