On Saturday, we went up to Washington Terrace and met up at Victory Park with some old friends. For a few days prior to going up there, I was very anxious about it. I was afraid of what it would do to Hyrum and Brigham, since they were the ones who missed their friends there the most. I was also afraid of the feelings that would be brought up when we drove by our old house. When I told this to David the night before we left to go up there, he said that he thought I would be the one who it would affect the most. I just cried because he knew me so well. I was so anxious over how the boys would react that I hadn't spoken or let myself think of what it could possibly do to me.
And like David always does, he tried to rescue me and offer that he just take the boys up there while I stay here. But I knew I needed to go and I'm so glad that I did. I'm so happy to report that no one cried on the way home...including me. I may have cried a few times when I hugged some of our friends but they were happy tears.
Maddie and Brigham just slid right into their natural place of friendship. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Maddie with Ruger. They were cute together too. He kept talking about her on the way up to Washington Terrace and ran right up to her when she came to the park.
I knew these 3 wouldn't skip a beat since they are "online" friends still.
Wendy and Russ Armstrong, Justin and Jett Yoder, Ashley Baum, and Carolyn Olsen aren't in these pictures because we took them after they left but these are our people!!!!
