To all our friends at church - we'll miss you on Sundays!

...but we're still here the rest of the week, so don't write us off! We officially moved out of the Terry Lake Ward boundaries when we moved into our new apartment in August, but since we thought we would be moving out of Fort Collins entirely mere months later, we decided to keep going to TL, seeing as we LOVE everyone there and would miss them terribly, if only for a few months. Neither of us relish making entirely new friends (because we're lazy, not because other people aren't wonderful) so we were settled on settling in 'til the move. Then, a few weeks ago while talking to his boss, Joe found out he will definitely be staying at the job site here in Fort Collins until it's completed this upcoming summer. We like our apartment, the rent is reasonably low (certainly lower than a house payment), it's very close to the job site so there's no commute... so here we are, still! Since we have more future months at our current place, which is still definitely not in the TL ward, we're admitting defeat and heading to the Prairie Ridge Ward. I'm sure, as soon as we climb out of our comfort-zone bubble we'll meet nice, new people, but I know we will miss all YOU nice, old people that we could always count on to sit next to in the back rows at church or roam the halls with while Patrick was antsy. So we're coming to church one last time to say goodbye, next week we'll be going to church to say hello. A whole new year, a whole new ward. Wish us luck, and tell anyone you know in Prairie Ridge to be nice to us :)

So glad you will spend one last week with us and that it just happens to be on a Sunday that I will actually be at church!

I completely understand your reasoning--we once admitted defeat in a similar situation--but am sad nonetheless.

Also, I heart all of your posts. So much of your personality comes out in them and, consequently, they are so fun to read!
