RHET AND JAICY

Especially since it is 105 degrees with humidity high enough to "feel like 120". It doesn't seem like the ideal August vacation destination, but I couldn't be more excited. 

I started thinking about the last time we saw Brett and Annie. So much of what I miss about my house and Utah is missing them. And since I got all caught up and busy with the move I never took time to write about it. 

That Friday was spent watching Ev graduate, hanging with family, and loading the truck. Finally we had everything loaded and cleaned except the air mattress in our room and a small duffel. My parents were staying at a hotel around the corner and my dad planned to leave with the truck ahead of us in the morning so he took the truck over to their hotel and for the very last time our neighbors, Brett and Annie, walked over and asked if we wanted to go get ice cream. And I probably wouldn't be telling the story if we didn't want ice cream.. :]

We went to Yogurtland and then went back to hang at their house for a while (they still had furniture). When it was truly too late we finally walked back to our house. I just remember going upstairs to lay down and just crying. For a while. In fact, embarassingly enough I am crying as I type just thinking about it. They were such good friends and we have so much fun.

Luckily that wasn't totally the end. We scheduled this trip before the move so there was no backing out and it was a guaranteed "see you later" not goodbye. We have covered the last few months with phone calls, picture texts and video chat. And now in one week we get to see them for reals, in person, in OMAHA.

AND we get to meet this adorable addition to their family: 

Baby Emelia in the onesie I made for her! 

Alright, so enough gushing about how much I love them already? Just wanted to spill a little excitement about the countdown (7 DAYS!) xoxox
