C-ya, C-bus

"El fin se acerca, y hay poco tiempo..." (for the Hermanas.)

It's almost here! The exodus! My thoughts? Not many. Mostly, "hooray!"

But, there are a few things we'll miss around here...


COSI

City BBQ

the ZOO

the parks - oh, so many great parks.

the GREEN in the spring & summer, and the BRILLIANT fall colors. No, winter, we will not miss you.

Graeters

the dollar movie theater

cicadas & fireflies

the pool

Honey Dip

the city skyline

the Pottery Barn/Williams-Sonoma outlet store

the other plethora of shopping opportunities

hmmmm....yeah that's about it...except for what we'll miss most...

our few good friends! If you're reading this, you're probably one of them....

We will especially miss our "family" here, the Fultons. So many laughs & good times. After a year of living two doors away from her, I don't know what I'll do without Carolyn - I think we have definitely developed a co-dependent relationship when it comes to raising our kids! How do I go on without our "daughter," Sarah? How does Parker go on without his best little friend that he sees EVERY DAY? and monitor sitting? How do people function without it? It's hard to leave another great family, where everyone in your family has a friend with everyone in theirs. It's a good thing we have blogs to keep up with each other's lives. We had a great time with them at the beach with them last Saturday...here are some pics.

Parker & Sarah


John & Peter - preparing for their marathon swimming event.


Carolyn...


...me...


...a sand-and-candy-filled Alex...


...and our fishy boy, Tyler.

I'm sorry you are leaving so many great people and places. We can't wait to see you even if it won't be long enough. Speaking of long, did you cut you hair?

Anne Marie said...

So many great pics from the beach. So glad you made some really good friends. Wish the Northwest wasn't quite so far from TX!

Sariah said...

Yay! Your move is so close! Another good-bye to great friends not so much fun. Love your short hair do!! SUPER duper cute!

I'm also with anne marie, wish the NW wasn't so far from TX but while visiting my parents I'll make a trip "to the other side" to see y'all!

We're excited to see you next week, we'll have a shindig at our house and everyone who wants to can come, K!
Glad you made some good friends there, and you thought you'd never have as good of friends as some of us Kansasans! ;)
We're bummed you're moving SO far away, but SO excited for your new exciting, non student life!
Your hair IS cute.

Parker sure loves the ladies, doesn't he?

Way cute haircut!

Kristy said...

Oh, I'm so excited for you! It's always bittersweet to move, isn't it? But I am really looking forward to some NW pictures soon!

Angie said...

We miss those same things about Columbus! Garrett misses Parker too, the other day he asked if he was ever going to see him again. So any plans to visit Dallas?

Mom B. said...

Cute pics! I'm glad that you have some fond memories of Ohio!

It's always hard to say goodbye, but at least you are going somewhere that you know you will be able to stay for a while!

Wish I were there to help with the move. Hope it goes smooth.

Kirsten said...

Good luck with everything in the next couple of weeks. You guys will sure be missed but I am excited for the adventure that awaits you. Don't forget to post lots of pics, especially of you new home, etc. We'll miss you!

Rachel said...

Michelle - we're sure going to miss you guys and hope that all is going well with your new adventures. You have such a cute family and it was wonderful to get to know you! It's just too bad that it was for such a short amount of time. Thank goodness for blogging and that we'll be able to see your cute boys grow!
