Feelings of change

Im so excited to move I will say there is no doubt about that, but I'm actually a bit sad. Ripon was a place I diden't even know anything about until we moved here 4 1/2 years ago. Its only like 20 minutes from my hometown also so how dumb is that? It was just so small i never even realized it was here! Well since we moved here I just love it. I love the people and everthing about it. This is a town where people leave their doors unlocked and neighors watch out for eachother. My daughters school is great and Adriana's preschool has the best people working there I would trust them with my kids anytime. The most thing I will remember is the relationships I have formed since we have been here. I met Alicia who lives next door who has basically became my best friend in a years time. I love her and Noah like my family (Marcus your aight too hehhee) and would do anything for them. We help eachother out like family and trust eachother with our children which is something that is hard to come by. i will never forget the summer we had together doing EVERYTHING together. My friend Laurie who I actually worked with and did not get to know very well, but we met again at our daugters basketball game she is just one of thoes peole that are hard to come by. She is a ginuine good person who i loves her family and loves her friends. I know she would be there for me anytime I needed her and has been. I will miss here just stopping by after the gym in the morning just to chat and give me a bit oif "adult" company. These are two people I know I will always have part of my life, but its just gunna be sad to not have them within arms reach. Both our smallest kids have grown up here both brought home from the hspital to this house. So many great things have happened under this roof too many to count. I cant believe its been so many years since we moved here. People know eachother here the workers at out local store know me its just small enough people can actually have relationships. So even though a new and exciting chapter is opening for us I will miss Ripon, and be thankful fo every mmoment and memory I have of here. If it wasent for this town I would not have met so many great people. BTW we be only like 35 minutes away from here, but Im still sad!! hahah
