jen{hayes}pratt

this is the name of my bestest of best friends.

we have lived within fifteen minutes of eachother, if not - together over the past seven years.

between orem and springville. (a lot of provo in the middle.) and three months in brasov, romania.

before that ... four years of our lives, we were inseparable. seriously. attached at the hip.

and the other 4 years we were connected by phone and email and instant messenger. or by plane ...

when i would fly to utah to visit and even go to (high) school with her.

yup! all seven of her class periods. plus, a few stomps!

and now ...

she, with husband, a girl and a boy are moving 2,100 miles away.

look out washington d.c.

here they come!

wish we were coming too. 

i am going to miss her. big time. 

but we won't go there tonight.
just like we didn't a few nights ago when we had a little party for her.

after deciding that night was not going to be a sad night. and we weren't going to cry. and we weren't going to say goodbye ... just yet, we had a lovely time reminicing on fun memories.

between our childhood friends and our freshman college roommates,

jen and i share some forever friends.

it was so fun to be all together (kiddo free) for a few hours.

but we missed you - lindsey, jessie, and staci!

me.jess.jen.aly.becca.laura.

love these attempts at our "silly" faces that we pulled in a lot of past pictures. l.o.v.e. laura's!

we're so glad meg could make it ! (after everyone left except jen and laura)

huge thanks to my sis for helping me put this together! thank you jac!
i can't believe we missed getting a pic (of her) and jen's sister.in.law. who joined us for the par-tay!
and another huge thanks to the best daddy (& hubs). who took e and baby luke to a park to play and eat dinner.
then, bathed them and put them both to bed.
what a night!

{p.s. this is just a little breather from all of the georgia pics to come ...}
