Waaahhh

So we are leaving Redlands at the end of next month and I am very sad about this. Around this time last year I was very sad about leaving Riverside (why does my husband keep torturing me? Jk) but this time I think I'm even more sad. No offense Riverside, but I got pretty attached to big Red and the people in it. Join me while I mope, will you?

Things I will miss:

My ward and all the wonderful girls there.

Monday night Bachelor(ette) parties. But I'm pretty sure I'll still go, and by pretty sure I mean positive. Wild horses couldn't keep me away.

One of my very best friends, Amy. She introduced me to all her friends when I had none close. Drank coke slurpees with me while we were pregnant, drank coke slurpees with me when only I was pregnant, drank coke slurpees with me when both of us we done being pregnant. Get the picture? Taught me all kinds of amazing crafty things. Helped me with Sawyer again, and again, and again. She let me know that Heavenly Father would let me cry if I needed it. I copy everything she does, if you couldn't tell. And her babies are Sawyer's best friends, they just don't know it. Why don't I just marry her? Because that's weird.

My Del Taco friends. And I just got over missing my Riverside Del Taco friends.

The meat guys at Stater Brothers. They know that when I order 2 pounds of ground beef I want it separated. That's service.

H&E thrift store.

Target right down the street. Kevin won't miss this I'm sure.

All the beautiful Victorian homes and all the beautiful trees.

This is the place where I met and fell madly in love with my little boy (who is currently crying in his crib. Shut UP Sawyer.)

Jingles and Number 2, the neighborhood cats. Buuut maybe we can get a bulldog (named Jeeves) when we get a house?? Yes? No? Yes? Maybe? Yes?

My favorite homeless people: The guy with a cat on a leash and the guy wearing a Veteran's hat. Is he really a Veteran? Who knows, but he's old and looks sweet.

The orange groves.

Downtown.

Things I will NOT miss, thank you for asking:

Out way too small apartment that felt HUGE when we moved in. How could such a semi tiny thing take up so. much. room.

The people upstairs and all elements of apartment living for that matter. It feels so, so, so good to say never again, apartments!!

Actually I think that's it.

I know I'm being dramatic since we're not moving very far away. But you know how it is when you quit a job and you swear you'll keep in touch but you don't? It's like that.

But big Red, I hope we keep in touch.
