Bye-Bye Aunt Rachel and Brittany

Well, we finally had to say the dreaded goodbye to Rachel and Brittany. They decided to move to Texas together. Brittany is going to cosmetology school and Rachel is going to the local college full time. While I'm super sad to see them go, I know that this will probably be the best move for both of them. They have been a very important part of our lives and they have a close relationship with their niece and nephew. They will be missed a whole lot not only by Matt and I but also our kids (especially Emily). I say it's not forever and that they'll be back but I just don't know if that will be true...... I'm sure they'll find the love of their lives and then who knows where they'll end up. I am the type of person that just wants everyone to live close and be a big part of each others life. So these types of things are hard for me and sad. They're going to stay in Texas for at least year and then re-evaluate things at that time. They'll be back to visit simi-frequently and we are planning to go out to Texas to visit them (probably after the New Year).

We love you Rachel and Brittany and we'll miss you!!!
