Chelsea and Thomas move

For the first few years or more after TJ and I were married we lived in Utah alone.

We had no family near by, no Sunday dinners with parents or double dates with siblings or cousins for our kids to play with, and we never had someone to leave Tallie with once she was born.

Then some family started moving here and it was really fun. Jamie and her family moved to Layton and although it is a drive for us we were able to meet up with family. Soon after Tessa and Ian moved here and have always been pretty close to us, Tessa and I hang out and our kids play and it's pretty much awesome. Megan and her family came along and then Chelsea moved to Utah for school. She was great as she became our go to  babysitter. Finally TJ and I were able to go out on dates again alone. Then best of all Bob and Mona moved here and spoil us and take the kids and they do sleep overs and me and TJ going on a vacation together becomes a reality. We have family dinners on Sundays, we spend holidays together and the kids get to spend time with grandma and grandpa and get to know them and grow up knowing and playing with their cousins.

I love it.

Then Chelsea and Thomas and baby Stella moved.

They now live in AZ, which is good I guess since we go there anyways to visit the other AZ people.

But still.

It sucks.

Megan is next. 

They are moving to California.

I guess at least Bob and Mona are coming back from their mission and we still have them but it won't be the same.

It will be a lot quieter.

I don't know what I will do if Tessa ever says she is moving.

I will become quite depressed.

Here are some pics of our last family get together with the Fredricksons before they headed out.

It was a sad day and my camera died so that why I only have lame pictures.
