Tribute fo our Friends

A little less than a year ago a family moved into our ward – the dixon’s. I had known E through various venues with the youth. When she showed up at church one Sunday, I was excited to see her and also find out they were here to stay. Instantly we became friends, our common interest in the game Settlers of Cataan made it even easier for our husbands to relate also. Who would have known the kind of friends we were to become. Over the past year we have had many a game night, movie night—social night, dinner night and so much more. Just the other day David commented, “I think D is the first friend I have every had the phone number memorized for.” I think that comment was an omen and I will, from this time forward, not allow David to memorize any of our friends numbers because that evening D broke the news that they would be moving…not just across town but to ARIZONA. Yuck! Who would leave beautiful, green, plush Washington to go to dry, allergy infested, brown Arizona? Well I guess they would and for good reason, D is going back to school. On the one hand we are very excited for them and the new adventures they will endeavor upon, on the other hand we are going to miss them tremendously. We have been very blessed in the past year to make some very good friends and we are glad they are not all moving but I must admit when the dixon’s leave, a piece of our heart will go with them. Of course we will miss their kids too- S, Z and J. It will not be as fun watching them grow up through pictures. Maybe one day we’ll make a trip to the desert and visit them but always they will be in our fondest of memories. We love you guys! Good luck and keep in touch!
