This last weekend was a lot of fun (except that I got sick and lost my voice--but other than that it's been great!). Our wonderful friends David and Teal came to town on their way out to Washington state where they are moving. The top picture shows me with three of Lincoln Home's finest: Gary, Mike, and David, before we went out to dinner at Darcy's on Saturday. Those were the good days when we all worked at the Lincoln Home together.
The next picture shows David and Teal at the museum visiting Santa Anna's leg. We really enjoyed having them here for a visit. It was so sad when they left to move to Atlanta in 2010! I first met David when I started working at the Lincoln Home. He had already been working there for a couple of years, and we quickly became friends. Then Greg and I met his fiance Teal, and we quickly became friends with her too! One of the highlights of 2011 was attending their wedding in Atlanta. They were seriously some of our very best Springfield friends, and it's hard to describe how sad we were when they left.
Last night we were reminiscing about the day they left Springfield. It was my birthday, and Greg and I helped them pack boxes and furniture into their moving truck, then we all ate birthday cake and went out to dinner. It had been such a fun evening, but it was too sad to say goodbye to them. So it was fun that we could see them a few times this weekend, but it was sad to say goodbye again. But we are excited for their new jobs and the adventures that they'll have in Washington. For a brief time, it felt just like the good old days having them here!
