Tonight we had our first of goodbyes with some of our closest friends...Leon, Roxy and their boys, Dakota and Dominic. I first met Roxy when they moved in right next door to us around September of 07. Jay was home for the weekend break...this is while he was in IULC down at Camp Pendleton. I told him we had new neighbors and when he got home he gave the guy a weird look. The "i-know-you" look! It was another marine in 2/7 that was also down at IULC with him. We thought it was pretty neat how they got moved in right next door to us. I introduced myself to Roxy and we've been friends ever since. Even though they moved away during the deployment we still continued to stay in touch. We have had many wonderful moments together with and without our husbands near. But just like the Marine Corps brought us together, the Marine Corps must seperate us. It is very hard to have to say goodbye to someone with whom you have formed such a close friendship with. However, we are military wives and we are strong. We understand we may have to say goodbye but it doesn't mean that's it. We'll stay in touch for years to come!!
We will definitely miss The Crandell Family. God Bless you all on your travels and good luck at your new duty station. We thank the Marine Corps for bringing you all into our lives!!
Love you all!!
