Friends

Throughout the time BSC and I have lived in Utah, we have made some amazing friends. Friends who are more like family than anything. These are the type of friends with whom we are comfortable enough talking about the most taboo of subjects without feeling judged. With these friends we can merely sit around a fire in the backyard without feeling like we have to keep the conversation going. They feel comfortable enough walking into our house without knocking, and we feel comfortable enough letting them do so. We expected our first children together, and have seen our children play together. We have stayed up talking until 3:00 in the morning, without even realizing how much time has passed. We have laughed so hard we cried and also cried for each others sorrows. We have shared countless dinners and drinks, and they still stuck with us knowing they would always receive bad service if I was around.

We know that most of these friends will eventually leave Utah for one reason or another. So far, two couples have left, and in the next couple of months, two more will leave. Eight amazing people who have touched our lives and given us unfailing friendship have moved on to the next step in their lives.

Cody, Jeannie, Karen and Cameron ... we miss you! Brandi, Ab, Jackie and Stefan ... don't leave us (but really, we're happy for you). And for the friends who are still here, we couldn't make it without you. You never know, maybe we're next.
