Saying, "See ya later"

I can't title this saying "good-bye". That is too permenant. Last night we had dinner with the neighbors across the street (Hannah and JB's house) with the Franklin's (Lucas) who are moving. This is always the part of the military that gets me. You would think I would get better at it, but I haven't. I dread it and try to ignore it. Well, this time it won't be as easy. Drew and Grace are losing a great friend, Lucas. They will remember this. Caleb, I am not so sure. We have had many friends move seeing as we have been here for 5 1/2 years. I think the kids are starting to understand how hard it is to see friends move. They keep asking if we will every see them again. How hard is that to answer?!! (Funny side note, when Olivia moved last year Grace was determined that the next time she would see her was in heaven!!! Too cute!!) In the military, you have a better chance of running into your friends. Unfortunately, Lucas and his family are moving to California and his dad is going from active duty to reserve (or guard, I can't remember). Their family is staying with us last night and tonight. They packed their moving truck yesterday. This has given the kids a great opportunity to play!!!

So, this isn't a good bye to Lucas, just a see ya later!!!
