Saying GOODBYE...



It's been about 6 months since they announced their move to Guam. It has been quite the process of watching them pack their belongings, rent out their home, ship off two vehicles, see Gussie off almost four months ago, welcome a beautiful baby girl and now in almost a week and a half, Jared's only sister will be leaving the U.S. to support her husband as he furthers his career in the hospitality industry. We are extremely excited for their family as they take this leap of faith and leave everything that their children have become accustomed to, to follow their dream. Although we know that life will continue, there are alot of traditions in our family, that we know won't be the same until they return, if they return. Or this might perhaps provide them with unlimited possibilities of exploring places we've only dreamed about.



Gussie we'll miss the WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS Christmas Eve dinners that you make. Who's gonna make your killer tamales with all that homemade goodness? and hook up the kids with the biggest x-mas pinata?



Line, we'll miss you at all of the kids functions and graduations and dinners and birthday's. You always been supportive of them 100%, rushing from work an hour away to make an awards assembly, grad. They always know that they can rely on you for anything, and so have we. You're the BEST Auntie!





Gussie, we'll miss the yearly birthday FIESTA'S (no, really a FIEEEESSSTTTAAAA!) that you hold for your girls !! The kids look forward to it every year.



And we'll definitely be missing the hotel rooms that you hook up for us when we want to run away from the desert. We've been spoiled by you! Thanks for it all!!!



We know that 'goodbye's' are hard for everyone. So when you're in Guam and homesick, hopefully we can keep this blog updated enough that you don't feel so far away. We will miss you dearly and pray for your safety as you are gone. And although you will be far away, we know that your ward family and our Heavenly Father will provide you with the comforting feeling that family can bring.

L, your love for your sister in law is greatly felt. Its funny how we don't think things are ever going to change and then in an instant when it does we feel the effect it will have on us and our family. I'm sure Line is feeling the same way, but knowing the kind of person you are L, distance can't touch the relationships we share. Love you girl, and thx for always commenting on my blog. I'm pretty sure your the only one who reads it besides me. We need to talk....I need your advice on a few things. When you have time call me if you can at home 8012531952. love ya!
