"The better part of one's life consists of one's friends." - Abraham Lincoln

During our 13 years of marriage we have lived in five states (Massachusetts, Utah, Iowa, Missouri and now Indiana). We have only lived for a short time near family (Massachusetts). So while in these other places we have met some very special friends who have become like family to us. Moving is always hard because we have to leave our friends. I guess the one advantage is that we have friends living in many different places.

This weekend we had some friends from St. Louis visit. We had a really nice visit with them and we were sad to have them leave.
