My Arkansas Family

Knowing that we only have 10 days left of living here in Arkansas is so bizarre. 

Who knew it would go this fast? Everyone kept telling me it was going to fly by right after we got orders to Germany, but I really didn't think it would go by this quickly. 

The Dream Team!
Esther, Nicole, Myself, Dao, Shaira & Ashley!

   I am excited to move on and start a new adventure, but it's completely bittersweet at the same time. I have made some amazing friends here & I know I won't find friendships like this in Germany. I hope that I make friends, but the girls I've met here are not replaceable. Between smoothie dates, coffee dates, birthday's and baby showers, these girls have made living in Arkansas feel like home. I'm pretty sure they have all helped me with fashion advice multiple times, I mean look at them, they are all drop dead gorgeous! They've introduced me to some amazing new foods with our multi-cultural potluck, which is something we should have done a lot sooner! Thank you Esther, Nicole, Dao, Shaira and Ashley for all being amazing friends & I expect Facetime calls every time you all hang out after I leave so I still feel part of the Dream Team. :)

My best friend, my other half, my person. 

I met my best friend here & that's something I never expected. I love the military for bringing Esther into my life, but i'm so upset that it's cut our time together short. I will be forever grateful that she came into my life when she did. I had no friends & spent everyday at home taking care of 3 month old Annabell before Esther came into my life. After we met we clicked instantly. I've never had to put a fake face on with her, I can be  myself 100% and I don't have that with very many people. I love that we can be complete assholes to each other & still laugh it off. It's never been one-sided with her & I am so incredibly grateful for that because it is so hard to find a friendship like ours. I will miss Esther most of all, if I could pack her and her little family into my bags and take them with us I would in a heartbeat. Germany isn't going to be the same without her in it, but I can thank Arkansas for introducing me to one my favorite people on the planet.

Our little Minnie & Mermaid

I can honestly say that this right here, separating these girls, is the hardest part about us moving. It's going to be so heartbreaking to watch Annabell say goodbye to her little best friend Emma. These girls have practically grow up together for the past 3 years. They had their first sleepover together, their first frozen yogurt together, they had their first steps together, pretty all the "firsts" of everything together. I hate that they don’t understand that we are moving away & that after we leave they will both continue to ask for one another. I hope that when they grow old enough to have Facebook, that they remember each other and never lose the friendship that they share. They may fight like sisters but they both love one another so much. The way their faces light up when they see each other is one of the happiest moments in my day. I hope and pray that it never changes, even years from now. The next time they see each other I fully expect them to sing all the Frozen songs for us.  Let's all try not to cry now, lol.

I have met so many amazing people here in Arkansas, I hope you all know what a major impact in mine and my little families life & we will miss every single one of you.

 As much as I hated the thought of living in Arkansas, I have honestly loved every minute of it, except the mosquitoes, nobody likes the mosquitoes! I didn't really appreciate all the things I loved about Arkansas until it came time for us to leave. 

We have 10 days left here, and 1 month until we leave for Germany. 

Time has seriously flown by.
