The past few nights I've been over and Doug and Heather's a lot because Doug is looking for jobs in Arizona, so Heather and I have had girls nights (with the kids). Wednesday night we went to ice cream and rented a movie and last night we went to dinner and then watched Grays Anatomy. I know they've been wanting to move for a while now, but it really hit me last night for some reason. As I was putting Elizabeth to bed she looked up at me and said "Love you" I told her I loved her too and she said "I love you more" Right then I lost it. I don't know why last night it hit me like it did, but it did and it hit me hard! I walked into the living room, looked at Heather, and started crying.
Heather and I have lived near each other for the past 20 years and we've only spent 6 months apart, when she was at ASU. We met when we were in Elementary school and have been friends ever since. She has been there for all of the good and bad times. She was there when I first held a boys hand, for my first kiss, for prom (she actually went to my prom) my HS graduation and she is actually the main reason I'm living in Utah. She told me we were moving Utah and I told her she was NUTS! Now look at me 4 years later :) I was going to post a REALLY old picture of me and Heather, but I thought I'd be nice to both of us and just go a few years back instead of 20 years back :)
Doug and I have always been pretty close, but when he moved to California for a few months before leaving on his mission and we became even closer. I didn't think it was possible for us to be any closer than we were, but now with both of us living in Utah and him marrying Heather we have become REALLY close! Its so crazy how much we are alike! Its trouble when you get both of us together!! I think sometimes we overwhelm Heather :) Doug is kind of like a protective older brother, especially when it comes to guys!! I always know if the guy gets Doug's approval or not :)
Elizabeth is my little girl!! I love the calls I get from her just to say hello and I love how she waits outside for me to come over. If I'm ever down and need someone to make me smile, Elizabeth can ALWAYS do the trick!!! She has the cutest personality and always makes me laugh! I don't know what I'm going to do with her gone!
Andrew is only 4 months old, and hes not going to remember me after they move :( He is such a really easy going baby and I love his little giggle! I love the way he watches Elizabeth and how he smiles and laughs at everything she does.
Thank you Robinsons for all that you do!! I'm going to miss you guys more than you could ever imagine!!

WOW Lindsay, you're making me tear up thinking about them not living near you. I know how important they are to you. I'm sad for you. I can post lots of dumb pictures and sayings on your my space when you feel sad...just to get you to smile. Okay?
Very beautiful, Lindsay. It can be so hard when someone, or in this case, some people, move away from you. I know you will miss them, but thank goodness for cell phones and the computer. You'll be able to stay close to them. You guys should both get web cams and then download Skype for free. Then you could video chat with Elizabeth! (Oh, and Heather and Doug too!!!)
I remember when you guys first moved to Utah and ended up as my next door neighbors. Was that really 4 years ago? So crazy how time just flys. You and Heather have a inseparable bond, and you will continue to be close even with a few unwanted miles between you.
Just as much as you love them and love being near them, Lindsay, it's obvious that they adore and love you too! "Happy Lindsay!"
