With all of that said I am spending ever minute I have with my nephews and my friends. I am going to miss so much with everyone I know (LB's prego once again and I'll miss baby showers and births and shopping sprees and name discussions. Nathan starts basketball after Christmas. Logan will be crawling and walking before we know it. Have I mentioned that I'll miss Christmas? haa). At the same time I am not the kind of gal to build these strong friendships, move away and just never speak to people again- it's not my style. IF I'm going to take the time to invest in you and in your life, and invite you into mine I expect and want you to stay in mine.
The sad part of this is that it seems some of my bestest of friends have already cut their losses and pretend I'm already gone and semi-unreachable It sucks when people you care so much for disappoint you. Yet, you cannot make anyone a priority who only makes you an option.
Some people don't really believe in "good-bye" its always this "I'll see ya later" nonsense. To me, it's what you say when you leave a friend's house, or hang up the phone. "Good-bye" is simply a fact of life. I think it hurts more depending on the circumstances but it's always there. On the other hand, I love the idea of this "I'll see ya later" business. I just kinda think it's a cop out... some kinda of coping mechanism. All I truly and honestly know is that whatever I say verbally, I'm going to quite possibly balling my eyes out (literally) but it'll definitely be happening on the inside.

I personally don't ever say "bye" or "good-bye" unless I have to. I don't say it when I hang up the phone, I don't say it when friends part ways for the day... When I'm talking to my best friend I say "see you later" or "see ya" and when I talk to the hubs on the phone we say "to the moon and back."
I just feel like "good-bye" or "bye" is just too permanent.
Don't be sad Sam!! You can come out here and I will tell you goodbye real quick if you like????
Hey just came across your blog thought I'd say hey!
I totally understand how you feel, I'll be joining my husband in Korea next month for 3 years. 4 of my best friends are pregnant and due in about 3 months and its weird to think how much I'll miss.
Good luck with everything!
