not this cute anymore!
My dear friend and neighbor, Emilee, moved today. I hate that she and her cute family are gone. She lived just a couple of blocks away from me and I am not sure I can drive down her street without missing her. She was the best early morning walking partner. We always had the most uplifting 6 am conversations as we watched the sun rise over the desert. She was quick to forgive me if I accidentally slept in. She was the best piano teacher to Ben and Luke. I don't know how I can find an adequate replacement! She let us borrow her keyboard. She let me break into her house if I ever needed cupcake pans or a vacuum, or whatever. She was always up for a party-- even if I wanted to throw one at her house. She would randomly drop off yummy cookies and nice notes. She is a fantastic mother of three beautiful girls. She is positive, uplifting, energetic and three days after she has a baby, it looks like she was never pregnant. I am really going to miss Emilee and couldn't stop crying today at church. But I am grateful that we were neighbors for a short while and even more grateful we have the internet and can keep in touch through blogging even though we'll live thousands of miles away. Texas is going to love them.
In two short weeks, one of my bff's from high school is moving to Vegas! I could not be more excited to have Azy for a neighbor. She and her husband, Chris, were married about a year ago and lucky for me, Chris was accepted to dental school at UNLV. They just bought to most adorable house just a few minutes away from ours.. and we are both expecting baby boys just a few days apart from each other. I am so looking forward to hanging out with her.. traveling up to WJ together when our husbands are too busy to spend time with us.. and being her neighbor when she first embarks on motherhood. Azy and Chris were here last week to take care of a few things before the big move and I did get a picture of our round tummies, but my camera is not cooperating. Oh well. We will have lots of preggo photo opportunities in the near future!
Whenever God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.

Everybody deserves a good neighbor you can rely on, sorry yours is moving. Sounds like you're getting a pretty sweet replacement though. That is awesome your good friend is moving so close. Sounds perfect.

hooray! janet i am so so excited to be your neighbor:) & all the fun play dates we will go on with our boys! How lucky am i to move away from utah and have such a good friend just down the street! and no worries about the pic i am sure we look so much better in my wedding picture rather then in my pregnant picture. wow how things change so fast in just a short year. But don't worry we will have so many more photo ops of our pregnant baby bumps :)
