We have some of the best friends :)

I'm not really sure where to start. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with gratitude today.
The last few weeks have been sort of odd. Over the last 4 years that we've lived in our home we've made some of the best friends. We feel so blessed to have met so many people who genuinely care about our little family and that so many people want to help us grow our little family. Out of one of the hardest things I can imagine going through, our infertility, we have made some of the closest friends, which is such a blessing.

Recently they split our ward. In that ward we were in nursery for a while and then moved up with the kids when they became Sunbeams. It was such a neat experience to move on with them and see them learn and grow. It made me so proud to watch them grasp concepts of the gospel, learn to be more reverent, and especially to see them learn the songs and belt them out with all their heart. With the ward split, none of the kids from our class are in our ward anymore. It's made me a little sad (REALLY sad), I miss their sweet faces. I miss them.

I miss all the friends we made too, but I'm glad that they will all be so close. I plan on still going to digital scrapbooking at Shawnee's, by the way. She's the best teacher :) So please don't be strangers just because of the split. I'm grateful for all the support that you all have given us, it means the world to us. I'm scared, but grateful for the opportunity we have now to meet new friends. And maybe I should finally meet some people on my own street.

AND new kids. We will still be in Primary, but we were upgraded to CTR 5/6. It's a class of girls and one boy. Completely different than our class of 5 boys before. They are so sweet, girls are so different.

Anyway, sorry to just gush. The reason for all this mushy lovey stuff was a sweet post by our friend Kira. They moved away a while ago and we were so sad to see them go. She has been so sweetly concerned for our childless situation, it's touching. Anyway, she did THIS post and I totally sobbed like a baby. It made me reflect on our wonderful friends and what a blessing they are. Thanks Kira :)

What a wonderful post and everything about you guys in it is true. You guys are very amazing people and I am so blessed to be a part of this family and to be able to get to know you both better. You are so great to our girls and we all love you both so much.

We miss you too AND you're still invited to digi-scrappin' night (I just have to decide when to do it). Just so you know, I cried too when I read Kira's post. I agree with her 100%.

I too agree with Kira. I saw it the other day.
We will not be strangers. I still want to come help you on shoots sometime. Life has been crazy lately. Oh, and I still have your tripod. :)heehee.
