The "Matney's" are gone :(

For the past um. . . 4 years I've gotten to know this awesome family.  On one of our many walks  (4 years ago) the new mom was walking the opposite direction as us with an infant in a front pack.  As we past, we told her she should join us tomorrow. . .and she did.  The rest is history.  The "Matney's," as Trisha's kids call her, moved last month for a new job and we were soo sad to see them go.  Over the years we have become pretty much one big family.  Mat was one of my daily workout partners, we had pizza and game nights at least once a month (especially when Randy was in school), we went on camping trips together, went on a couples weekend, on double dates (I think there was even a man date in there somewhere, hiking, boating, pretty much everything.  When we found out they were moving we were devastated but knew this was an amazing opportunity for them. . . so we LET them leave, lol.  We had to get in one more game night before the left. . .

 And also a little farewell shindig.

 One of the many sad things about them leaving is they had this little guy 2 weeks before they left.  I'm so sad I won't get to see him grow like their other one's.

 Good luck "Matney's" hurry back.
