Lucky for great friends

Recently, our good friends, the Nelson's moved to Washington State.  We had so much fun with them, as the girls each had a friend their exact age.  Seriously, Ruthie is one day younger than Andie.  The others are just 2 or 3 months different. 

 Andie and Ruthie were in the same Kindergarten class and became best friends. 

 Sadie and Ali.  Yes - Sadie is on the "small side" of the scale and Ali is on the "tall side" of the scale.  They are only 3 months apart.  I love this picture!

 Adalyn and May.  They beat us this time and May is one month older than Adalyn.  We didn't get a picture of Clara and Caleb.  They got a girl for # 4 and we finally got a boy! 

We held a small surprise goodbye party for them a week before they left.  Here is a group of good friends from our ward - it will be sad when the times comes that we move.  We have loved our time here in Georgia!

 Us, Hannah and the Clark's

 All the kids enjoyed a ride on the car....literally, all of the kids at one time.  You can't see Chris, but he is back there somewhere pushing them all around.

 All the girls.  Racheal, Lena, Ali, Stacey, Sara, Lindsey, Chelsea, Andrea, Beckie, me and Hannah.

We miss you Nelson's!  Andrea was such a great support and example for me over the last few years, but this last year in particular.  She is such a happy person, ALL OF THE TIME, and full of encouragement and friendship.  We definitely took advantage of living by each other - and I always bought an extra sour cream when I went to the store, waiting for her call to borrow it.  :)  We are so blessed with so many great friends.  I've had a great time having girls' night out, going to Myrtle Beach with some of them, movie nights, game nights, park days, beach play dates Bunco.  It's great because most of us are students, so we understand each others situations and have made the best of it.
