Unfortunately this week is a lot of packing and saying goodbye to people. Two things that are absolutely horrible. We have spent the last couple evenings with our best of friends Josh and Tessia Cary. We have been on a watching "Friends" kick. We have decided that Chandler's sense of humor reminds us of Jeremy's (or at least I decided that). That is a dry one, for those of you who don't know Jeremy very well :). And Tessia and I decided that we remind ourselves of Monica and Rachel at some times. Unfortunately I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not ;). Anyways, it has been a great time getting to spend time with them the last couple nights. We are really going to miss them. We got some fun pictures---
And yet, the hardest person to say goodbye to, was today. Jeremy and I drove up to Sterling to see Erin, since she can't come home because of some dumb RA rule. It was good to go up there and see her room totally put together and everything. Jeremy liked meeting her friends he hear's her talk about. He hadn't ever met any of them before.
We went up to Sterling after our "going away" dinner at grandma's....which was wonderful!! So, we left grandma's with dad's truck because we were hauling a couch up there for Erin. Well about the time we hit Hutch, we realize, gosh those clouds are kind of dark. Nothing was covering the couch. And it stormed........hard. Really, really hard. The couch was soaked. So, Erin and Jeremy took the couch into their lounge area in the girls' dorms and it is hopefully drying out right now. I think it will need some Febreeze. After that we went to Lyons and ate at Sonic (that is really one of the better choices there). It was good to spend time with her. We then went back to Sterling and Erin had a movie thing with the RA's, and we needed to get going to we left. Jeremy told Erin bye, and then I did. I told Jeremy I was not going to cry. I lied. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I am really going to miss you Erin!!! I LOVE YOU!!

I'm not saying goodbye...just see you later! :) Thanks for sharing your heart. It is good to love people so much that we miss them lots. Each day no matter where you are is one more day to live in the light of your Heavenly Father. Praying for "new" friends in Indiana. Though we all know they will never take the place of the old! The old ones are for keeps! Oh..and if you find out when your sister is coming to Indiana; be sure to let me know! :)

Jeremy and Kellie,
I am sure you are well on your way to your first home together. That is exciting. You can learn to cook together (I really like it when Grandpa helps me in the kitchen. Whenever you see Aunt Liz, give her a hug for me. Keep those hugs fresh between you, too!!
I am anxious to see some of your pictures when you get there. Have fun setting up your home. I trust Grandpa's truck is working well.
Love to both of you.
Prayerfully
Grandma Butch
