It's Hard to Say Goodbye

     Yesterday, my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew started their big move from Lubbock to Virginia.  When Kevin and I moved to Lubbock two years ago, we thought it was the start of getting the Krile clan back together.  But unfortunately, schemes rarely go according to plan.  John received a job offer that he just couldn't refuse.  There are so many perks to being close to family, so we are really sad to see them go. 

     My Clare and my brother's boy, Connor, are only 5 days apart in age.  They are our own little version of twins!  They have been best of friends since we moved to Lubbock.  And if you've ever had a conversation with Clare, you know Connor is her favorite subject.  They play hard, fight even harder, and know the other like the back of their hand. 

    We've talked to Clare about the big move, but nothing has really sank in till now that it has happened.  They are so close right now, but still so young.  It's weird to think that they probably won't even remember their time living in the same city when they grow up.  I do know that I will remember and always be thankful for the beautiful memories.

    John and Melissa, I wish you all the best luck in your new adventure.  I pray you are successful enough to have a great time in Virginia, but homesick enough to move back to Texas when you can!
