I swear I feel like this same thing keeps happening to me. I tend to complain often about not having any good friends. I have friends of course, like everyone, the ladies in Relief Society, the other gals picking up kids at preschool, the same women you see every week while waiting for swimming lessons to end. You get it; but eventually I start to need a friend. One I can talk with about the latest fads, and comings and goings of life. Someone I can call and rant to, or vise versa. Well I seem to find these friends just fine, but they keep leaving. One to California, one to Kansas, one to Utah, and the most recent, to Arizona. It stinks. I watch them anticipate a leave and a job change..I am happy for them... really happy for them, but in the end, when they leave, like drive away, which somehow I have been there to see them all off, It sucks! I hold back the tears, I smile and wave, and thats it. This morning I watched a good friend leave. Probably the best friend I have made here in Missouri. I totally am going to miss her a ton. She is nice to my kids, she has always been there when I needed her, she comes for dinner, and brings desert... So this is my blog entry, and the point is simply to say, Heres to friends; The fun kind that keep you laughing, shop with you, talk with you, and eventually become family. Congratulations Professor Dawn. Good luck in Arizona! We'll be missing you.

Oh MJ! My heart breaks for you. Friends are SO critical to our survival. So sorry to hear about your friend leaving.
Merilee, I am so sorry this has happened. Hang in there...it won't be long until you are packing up and waving goodbye!
Ya, that's the sort of luck I have too! That is one of the reasons why I had to move out of Utah after a year. I finally made a Utah friend, but we were already in the works to move. She was pretty peeved at me though, but don't worry...it does get better. I remember I was so pathetic in Utah because I would run home and check to see if I had messages. If I didn't, I was depressed the entire night.
I totally understand. I don't have any really, really close friends here other than my sisters. So thank goodness I live close to them. You are such a fun person, you won't have any problem finding another friend!
