Goodbye, Hochstein Family!

So the day came... the Hochstein family had to embark on their journey to Arizona! Nicole and Matt had a really nice goodbye party at a family friend's house.  It was super nice... I just couldn't find myself to leave.  Even seeing our kids hug and Mike saying good bye to Matt made me sob! Nicole, Matt, Dalan, Jayen, and Brilyn are some of the friends that you don't find just anywhere. I feel like I've known Nicole my whole life... we just get each other... and we just fit!  Seriously... I thought being a decade older that I could maybe share my so-called "wisdom" with her... but that's why she's special... she taught me so much! Nicole is self-less... caring... thoughtful... and the list grows and grows.  It's funny... can you look up to someone that is younger than you?  Well... I am.  We feel so blessed to have known this beautiful family! I know it's not "goodbye"... it's see you later... but it's so much tougher and heart-breaking than I thought! I can't wait to be with one of my best friends and her family again... I'm currently searching airplane tickets!
Oh... I had to sneak to their house last night... to have one more snuggles with the kiddos.  Brilyn fell asleep on my shoulders.  I'll take it!  LOVE YOU, Hochstein family!!!!  Safe travels to Arizona! God Bless!
