Today has been one of those miss-my-buddies days. I got to catch up with a few friends the other day and it just left me wondering why we all have to grow up?!
I just know if we asked Sarah she would have some brilliant way of creating our own Neverland and then we could all stay poor (but super happy) little families on Copley Road forever.
Then we'd be able to stay in C'ville to enjoy things like:
1. 3 different roads that are all be named the same thing.
2. Living in a cul-de-sac (with it's mud pits, speedy drivers and Master).
3. Learning where to shop: Don't buy your cold cuts at Food Lion, go to Harris Teeter instead...but get your canned goods at Kroger and wait to get your produce at the C'ville market unless there's something in season at Carter Mountain in which case you'd take your kids and pick your own.
4. The milk is just too expensive no matter where you go. Except for maybe Sam's club, right Haley?
5. You can learn more at the park in 30 minutes than reading 2 parent help books a day.
6. Seeing a Lactation specialist (it's the way to go).
7. Sarah Sanchez (she always have the answer to how to get out of a creative rut, or any rut for that matter).
8. Working out together (even once) bonds you for life.
9. Thursday picnics.
10. Turning the most mundane activities into group events!
However, since this would mean never having a pay check, I shall return to reality, buy a book of stamps and continue my search for Megan's twin-- I have no one to make cards with and I'm running out... Man I miss you gals!
I am finding new friends and loving all the new adventures (this is not a pity party). I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to tell you all how much I love you and feel like I took a bit of everyone with me. My life has be truly enriched, and I am so incredibly thankful for you all.

Awww, I miss Cville too. Let me rephrase that, I miss my friends too. I do, however, not miss going into debt everyday of our lives. How does Sarah have the answers to all of our ruts? When she's struggling I feel like I have nothing good to say. It drives me insane! I got a little teary eyed watching your slide show. Seeing the guys together, all of us starting a new adventure, and the kids grow up. I hope that I love this place as much as Virginia.
I know exactly how you are feeling. I miss you all so much and would love to be there with you. I know that we have to leave this all with the Lord and he does guide and direct our path. You and Nick have proved that to me is so many ways. I love you all so much and want to be closer. I put that picture in my mind and know that someday, somehow we will all be close together again, until then I love seeing your blog and watching it everyday.
Kristin could you be cuter...All of those C-ville comments ring so true! Copeley just isn't the same without you!
