Wanted...

Our beloved Bagley friends moved to Washington yesterday.
I've cried a lot...and I usually don't cry about friends.
I decided to place a want ad for a new family that we can hang
out with. I hope this works because I don't know what I'm
going to do without Charith a block and a half away.
(And now I'm crying again!) Here goes:

WANTED....

Someone with whom we can go "white trash sledding."

Someone we can go to the park with...anytime, any day.

Someone who will be our work horse. How do you like
the hand truck we borrowed from the neighbor? :)

Someone who will help install over-the-range microwaves,
move our furniture in very awkward stairwells, paint our
dining room, and... the list is really endless. We demand
a lot of our friends. Perhaps that's why they moved!

Someone to find Easter eggs with.
(That person has to be willing to play the part of a bunny also!)

Someone to help us eat birthday cakes.

Someone to motivate me to run.

Someone that actually enjoys Halloween.

Someone to go on day hikes with us.

Someone to play dress-up with Lillie.

Someone to gorge on food with us.
(We did this a lot!)

Someone for my kids to be crazy with...so I don't
think my kids are unusually energetic.

Someone to get dirty with.

And someone to just be goofy with.

I know that I'm getting my hopes up for this ad to
be filled. But...here's for hoping! We will miss our
dear friends and hope for them the very best!

Oh, Thanks Ginger!! What a great send-off you gave us. Seeing all these pics reminds me of all the fun things we did. Thanks for being such a great friend!!

Makes me want to cry too when I think of all the people I have met over the years and left behind. You could come HERE!!!! I'd eat food and I love Halloween!

Hey!, I found your Blog again! You are so creative. I love ALL the pictures (I read clear back to Axel's B-day).

Wish we could fill the "wanted" ad. It would be so cool. Literally so cool not 112 degrees.

Give the kids a hug and a kiss from the grandma with 11 new baby chicks!

Oh Ginger this made me so sad! I HATE endings and leavings and saying goodbye. I for one am not going to ever make any friends again so I don't have to end it. Want to join me? Okay, okay, that's a little overboard. But it might be worth it in the end.

Well, if you're willing to move South say about 8 hours to find new friends you'd have many to fill the position!

That is too funny about the lettering, AXEL & LEXA I think you are definately on to something there! Cursed letters!;)

Ginger-
I am so happy to see your family on your cute blog. Brandon and I were just talking about you and our Logan memories the other night. Man, what a small world. Jodi said you stopped by the other week. How fun to stay in contact with old friends.
Cute family!!!
