Here's a picture you don't want to see when driving up to a friend's house..... My friend Debbie and her family are moving to College Station.(tomorrow) sniff, sniff... Debbie is one of the first people I met here and we have become really good friends. Our first meeting was at the neighborhood pool the first summer we were here. Our oldest kids both started Kindergarten the same year. I talked her into carpooling and we've been on the road with each other's kids for the last five years. All of the kids love her. In fact, when we first came home with Mia she would rather have Debbie hold her than me. Mrs. Debbie would drive into the driveway Mia & would run out to the car for her to pick her up. We've had a lot of funny and teary-eyed discussions in the front yard. Diet cokes and theological discussions we've had it all. I'm really going to miss Debbie. She has been a true answer to prayer for me. Zane said "Mom, we're going to have to move" I asked why and he said, "Well, we either need to move to Mrs. Gayla, Valarie, or Darla's neighborhood or you'll need to make a new friend" I think he realizes how important a REAL friend is. Thankfully the drive to see each other is only about 2.5 hours. 
Here I am with Debbie after a tearful discussion, thankfully the packers had not put away the kleenex yet.
