Saying Goodbye...

So the day has finally come....and it sucks so bad to have to say goodbye to close friends. It never gets easier. I am so thankful that I had the chance to have such good friends while I have been here in Hawaii. Now they are both leaving to start their "real lives" and they are happier than ever. I can't blame them. I can't wait to start our "real life" either. I can't say I'm not jealous. I can't say I don't wish it were us....that would just be a lie!

We had our LAST DINNER at Duke's in Waikiki last night. The food was great, as always! It was so awkward to think that the friends we spent so many dinners with over the past few years are now moving away. We were able to hold ourselves together through dinner, but fell apart shortly after saying or goodbyes. There are always such good intentions to stay in touch, but who really knows if we will see each other face to face again. I can only hope we do...

I am so thankful to say that I had such great friends to keep me sane and together here on this lonely island. I honestly don't know what I am going to do for the next 7-8 months that we have left here. I miss them already....But the military has its way of making people say goodbye quite often. I guess its just how it is. But I am grateful I had these friendships.

Me, Crystal and Lindsey before saying goodbye and getting in our cars....
