Within a week of moving to Rexburg, I started counting down the days to graduation - when I could get the heck out of the state of Idaho. Now that that day has finally come, I couldn't be more disappointed. Don't get me wrong; I still can't stand the winters that last until May, the complete lack of chain restaurants, or the half hour drive to get to something slightly resembling a mall, but for all of it's bad points, Rexburg still has that one winning factor - our friends. Our best friends, Rick and Jenny Runyan have made all the difference to us here. I know we couldn't have survived without their warm friendship and love. From the late-night talks about things like the times before we could fart in front of our spouses, to the weekly walk to G's, they have truly changed our lives. Not only are we best friends with them, but our kids are best friends too. People at church get confused by which kids are ours because Brooklyn and Aubrey are constantly being held by Rick and Jenny, and McKyla frequently climbs into our laps and gets cozy. Brooklyn adores McKyla, and McKyla adores Aubrey!! Just kidding! But honestly, the two (sometimes three) of them playing together have been some of my favorite memories here. ( I have 135 pictures of Brooklyn and McKyla together!) We can't thank them enough for all they have done for us, or begin to tell them how much we love and will miss them!

Aww, Ash! I started getting teary-eyed right when I read the title. And then I laughed and then I cried again! Shoot, Monday is going to be the crappiest day we've ever had. Rexburg won't be the same without you all and neither will we. We love you guys!
So I was reading this blog and thought I'd let you know that Rick was my FHE brother before my mission and Jenny was in my ward! Isn't it a small world? (And you are right they are both awesome people!)
