Our Good Bye Party

Monday Night a few days before our move, the Taylors hosted a good bye party for us at their house with all our friends. We had some pizza and some ice cream. Simple, but perfect. We loved being able to see a lot of our friends one last time before we moved. We had the best friends in Reno. They really were like family to us. They invited us to play, made sure we always had something going on during holidays, and helped and served us so much. Thanks to all of you guys. We love you. In a memoral tribute to you all we made a "YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THE FLUKES IF YOU" List. Here it goes.




Russ was great playing with Gabe and their purses


YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUR FRIEND IF YOU:
-Substituted for Adam's paper route
-Brought us spare keys in the middle of the night
-Helped us haul our car home from California to be fixed
-Pushed our broken car a mile to a shop to get fixed
-Watched Gabe for us when we had a pregnancy doctor appointments
-Looked after our house and yard when we were away on a trip
-Let us borrow yard tools over and over
-Helped us de-root a tree, and then fix the neighbors fence afterward :)
-Fed us yummy yummy meals over and over
-Spent time in some good conversation
-Offered to watch our kids for multiple things
-Came to get us in California when our car broke down
-Went to baby classes with me when Adam couldn't
-Watched Gabe for us so we could have date nights
-Put up with Greta licking your face
-Spent time with us hiking, camping, for FHE, mountain biking, having dinner, eating out, game nights, holidays, date night swaps, letting our kids play, etc, etc, etc.

I'm sure there are a million things I forgot. Thanks to all our good buddies and all you did for us. We can't wait to visit you all and hang again when we can. We also expect lots of visits from you all soon. :)
I love this group hug, Ollie was eating her bow

That night some of the guys went on a final night ride
