We Will Miss the Purcells
Last weekend we said good-bye to some very dear friends of ours…the Purcells (Jason, Lauren and Riley). We met Jason and Lauren in our first small group here and have been friends ever since. Over the past couple years we became great friends and have been through pregnancy and the first steps of parenthood together.
Lauren has always been great for advice. During my pregnancy I would always check her pregnancy blog to compare and even still do the same with parenting. She even gets crazy phone calls from me, since I sometimes turn into that crazy paranoid 1st time mom. Like the when Deacon started rolling over in his sleep and I told Bryan he had to flip him to his back every time he rolled on his belly. Of course, Bryan told me that was impossible and he would be okay. But I did not want to take an amateur’s advise, so I called Lauren. She reassured me that he would be fine and made me fell a lot better. Thanks Lauren…but just because you are moving to California don’t expect those calls to stop…lol!
Jason and Bryan love to do all those “manly” things, like fishing and hunting and whatever else guys do. Riley is such a sweet little girl and is always so loving. She is so sweet to Deacon.
We had a going away party for them on Saturday and spent the afternoon hanging out…it was so much fun. All of the kiddos entertained us. Sunday after church we had lunch at Olive Garden and said our good-byes.
They started their journey to California today and this makes me very sad, but at the same time I am happy for them and all the new things California will bring. I have to add that today I was driving down the road and I seen a black Tahoe pulling a Uhaul and I thought I wonder if that is Jason…about the time I noticed Lauren’s car following closely. I of course had to call her and let her know I was stalking them as they were heading out of town.
Jason, Lauren and Riley…we wish you the best and look forward to visiting
