regret

I have one regret about us leaving and that is not going to say good-bye to the kids best friends one more time.  We tried with Savannah's friend but missed her by 1 hour.  It was so sad.  Things just got really crazy with graduation, grandparents in town and then the emotional part of moving, time just got away from me and before I knew it was had no time and then the kids left for the airport and it all seem like I blinked and they were gone. 

They had so many great friends there that we will miss very much but we are grateful for them and memories we made with them.

I think the hardest part about this move is that we probably will never see these friends again.  We won't really be going to Iowa to visit like we do Utah so it is hard to think we may never see our home or friends again.

These are some of the texts I got from the kids friends. 

 

 

 

 

(Aug 2015: We are now home from Utah and in our new home but Austin keeps asking when we can go back to Iowa so he can play with his friends (Carter (little boy who lived in back of us, Greydon and Asher).  It doesn't really feel like home right now and Austin doesn't understand that we aren't going back, that Iowa is 7 hours away and we just can't go and play with our friends there anymore.)
