What aren't they telling us?

When I moved to Oregon, I moved with my good friend Kristina. We came here and lived with my good friends Jody and Travis. Then, I got a job at REI and met my good friend Jen. At that job, I met my good friend Drew and his wife Katie. Things were great for awhile.

I think Jen left first. She moved to St. Louis to be with her now husband Ben. Then, it was Drew and Katie, who moved to L.A. for a job Katie got at Biola University. Jody and Travis left about 18 months ago as Travis' company transferred him to the Bay area. And finally, just last week, Kristina left. She and her fiance Douglas are in the long, cross-country process of moving to Bar Harbor, Maine.

I miss them all, tremendously. B and I have many good friends now, but it's been hard to watch the people that got me settled into life in Oregon leave one by one. Makes me wonder: what aren't they telling us? Is the grass really greener? Well, at least we have four great places to visit now...

Kristina and I after one last meet up for happy hour. We'll miss you!
