Well this month started out pretty good. I was anticipating my 28th birthday and all the surprises that I would hope to come with it. Well at the beginning of the month I found out that our great neighbor Kathy was moving back to Minnesota, to live with her brother. So that was a hard thing to deal with. But we still wanted to celebrate my birthday with the usual birthday dinner. Well my birthday came and it was a rough day, to say the least. I was hoping for many things to happen that day and they didn't. It was also another reminder that my dad was not here to say Happy Birthday to me or my sister. So back to dinner, Kathy decided that she wanted to take me to the Melting Pot with the kids. So here are some pictures from that. As you can see from the pictures we had a lot of fun.
Of course part of saying good bye to our neighbor and friend we went to church so they could wish her well on her travels. Here are some pictures of that.
*It is so hard to watch someone who has held you together and been there to push you along in your daily life to move away. You lose this part of you that you didn't really know you had until that person is gone. I realized how much she actually did for us while she was not only our Neighbor but Friend and even a part of our Family. This is a person that is not replaceable in anyway.
After Kathy moved away to Minnesota it was rough at first getting into a new routine. But with Adrianna starting school it was just one thing after another to deal with. Here is a picture of Adrianna on her first day of 4th grade.
