Well, another family is moving away....it really brings a lot of sadness to me. We take our family and friends for granted and then, when they are not there anymore, we always do that, would of, should of....I have never had such a year of change I don't think with people leaving our lives. Korey's grandma lost her husband just a month or so ago, and she is lonely and sad. She told me not to take love and life for granted. To think about living with out people has brought great sadness to me this week. I am usually a very strong person, only have a few moments of weakness, and then I shake it off. It has been hard to shake this feeling this week. My Ward is loosing more and more families and is not feeling like home so much to me anymore. So many new faces, but not familiar if you know what I mean. This has been my church for nearly all of my life, it is just different. So, yeah, I have been feeling sorry for my self, and dare I say missing big Korey? He is at Boy Scout Camp until Saturday and I can't wait to see him. Yeah, you can tell him I said miss him, and he actually misses me too. Good thing we got texting, cause we have been texting all day every day since he has been gone. It has actually been nice to still be able to talk that way, cause otherwise trying to understand him with the phone reception in the mountains would be just horrible.
So the moral to my story is to appreciate your friends when you have them, appreciate love and live life to the fullest.....

I love your moral of the story! thank you for the beautiful reminder.
my ward is going through the same exact thing. we just recently lost a BUNCH of really good, active families. it is sad, but what's so crazy is that there always seem to be new ones who move in and take their place. in the 13 years we've been married we've moved 10 times. this last one was our final movE!!! BUT I know how it feels to move into a new ward and be yet another "new face"...it got to the point where i didn't even want to put forth an effort to make new friends, because i knew we'd just move anyhow so what was the point? but i really missed out when i did that. i finally decided that no matter where we moved, i would open up my heart to people, and yeah, i have had AND LOST countless friends....(you know how people just lose touch) but i cherish the memories and learning experiences with each and every one of those people, no matter how short-lived our time together was.
