I will definitley take you up on staying with your family at some point! :)<br />Susie--Garden of Eden is right! They will be moving to SLC for a year and then we're not sure where they will be assigned.

It's a good one: I'm going to medical school in Southern California. But we're leaving behind memories, the cute little town with the beautiful park where we said our vows, my son's grandparents, our friends... our support system. This house we're leaving wasn't a childhood home, but its walls tell the story of our engagement, our wedding, our marriage and bringing home our son. And in four short weeks, I'll never come home to this place again. It's hard to say goodbye. <br /><br />Thanks for your great blog. I really enjoy reading it!Aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768730867232324540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627051703062791828.post-89911540214217199302011-06-03T15:52:43.763-04:002011-06-03T15:52:43.763-04:00I can't really let myself process the poignanc...I can't really let myself process the poignancy of this post. Too hard for me right now. The presence of your family will be missed, however with your parent's comings and goings in SLC maybe you will visit them here and I will see more of you (unless I have run away to NYC for the weekend...sorry 'bout that.) We grew up in a magical place during a magical time and it gives me a bit of heart wrenching nostalgia when I realize that it probably cannot ever be replicated. I will always be searching for it though. Your words took me back to the wonderland of our adolesence and made me miss you like crazy. Thank you for being such an integral part of my childhood. I love you my dear dear friend.Amberlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804554997633249599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627051703062791828.post-19456808941751900022011-06-02T12:09:15.710-04:002011-06-02T12:09:15.710-04:00It's amazing that places have such an effect o...It's amazing that places have such an effect on us. My parents operated a marina my entire existence. I went to work with my mother as a baby. I started cleaning boats at age 11. I was a dock hand, office worker, store attendant... And then the year I was married, they sold the business. It's located across the street from the house I grew up in. My grandmother's home was right next to it. It went with the sale. Less than a year after, the new owner bulldozed the precious antique building where boats were stored and the offices located. My grandmother's home stands vacant. It's such a sad place now. There were so many memories there. Sadly it doesn't exist anymore and so I'll never be able to show my children.Every Star Is Differenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638575103764627880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627051703062791828.post-11011518825046820142011-06-02T12:00:13.748-04:002011-06-02T12:00:13.748-04:00I want to cry FOR you all!

I really think saying goodbye to Alamo is like a 1000 times more painful than what other people have to do when they grow up in other places. It's our very own Garden of Eden--that you have to pay a lot of money to live in.<br /><br />And what's up with the East having Rite Aids but not Thrifty's ice cream flavors? <br /><br />Where will your parents be moving to?<br /><br />Again, you have my condolences.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708460691851608227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627051703062791828.post-59173751698481043282011-06-02T02:05:06.865-04:002011-06-02T02:05:06.865-04:00I can't handle this!

I just can't imagine the Wilson's not being 3 doors up. Who will we call to borrow eggs, or watch our animals for the weekend? If we get locked out of the house, where will we go? I won't see your dad out walking the dog in the evening. Even though I don't live on Marks Road anymore I will feel the void of the Wilson's not being there. I won't see your parents in the Alamo ward when we are home to visit. I took for granted those little things and will miss them more than I can say. It was always a joy when we ended up visiting home at the same time and would be able to catch up. I hope that you will still come to visit even though it won't be as often as every 6 months. When you do, you know that you can always stay at the Coons.Emily and Aaron Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095592230717627736noreply@blogger.com
