So last night we went to dinner to say our goodbyes to our friends since ultimately it will be the last time we see them. I emailed all the ladies to see what would work best for them and their hubbies and one particular person that I REALLY wanted to be there because I had always considered her a good friend despite our constant distance...Her only available day would be Wednesday night. Everyone else worked their schedules around that. It worked out for the most part.
12 people were invited...7 showed up. Only 1 of those people had a legitment excuse. She's pregnant and was not feeling so hot...COMPLETELY understandable because I've been there...I am there half the time. Lol But the person whom I worked everyone elses schedules around suddenly a few hours before wasn't sure that they were going to come...She said her husband didn't want to spend money...That's fine, I understand that too but just come and say goodbye. Be there to give us a hug or a wave off. So she said that was do able. She never showed. Feelings of hurt definitely raced through my blood because I finally realized that our friendship doesn't mean as much to her as it did me...And that's okay, I'm not mad about it. I just felt like if it were that important she would have made it. I didn't expect her to spend all her money or anything. But I just wanted to say goodbye. She's a great person inside and out but that just threw me through a loop :/
The other couple that didn't show also said they'd be there...However, this I kind of figured...This couple suddenly turned into two faced people our last week here...Actually more like the wife. It's sad too because we considered them such great people. She started ignoring texts, offering to do things but then not following up and when we'd confront her about it, she'd completely ignore it. Whatever, we don't need that shit...
In the end the people who matter to us and whom we truly matter to showed up and we couldn't have had a better time sitting around the table being completely inappropriate, laughing and having a good time. Two hours was not long enough and as I sit here I feel like 3 years with these people was not enough time. Most of them want to head to the same place we do when their time comes but it isn't guarenteed. We don't know when we'll run into eachother again or if we will which makes leaving more painful. Our friends...Our family...The ones we've fought with, laughed with and cried with. Crazy parties, calm dinners and evenings we just sat around the table and talked. None of those things can be replaced nor will they be forgotten.
*Bri - The morning the guys left for deployment...I came to your work and cried from behind the pastry shelf...You came around, hugged me and cried with me. Our bond was built at that moment. I'm pretty sure you and I cried the most together during deployment. You became my very best friend out here. The one I completely trusted and whom I could confide in knowing no judgement would be passed. You and Cory will always hold a special place in our hearts and as we travel through our military careers your memories will constantly be relived through stories! We love you guys!
*Leighona - Move nights!!! Every friday! Man, once the guys got home, I missed those! I'd say random lines from movies to Karl and he'd just look at me funny and then I'd get sad and tell him "it's a leighona and suzi" thing. Lol We didn't hang out much but the times we did have outside of movie night were great!!! "Awhhh you made me a period mix tape"!!!!
*Kassy - We can handle eachother in small doses...That is where the best of friends come from. Lol Once we got past our differences, a great friendship blossomed and I'm glad we gave eachother second/third/fourth/fifth chances...(I forgot what number we were on). I can honestly say there are no hard feelings and that you will ALWAYS be a friend! I am sad to have to leave little Kailee behind but am excited to watch her grow through the computer screen! Hopefully we meet again, in Colorado ;) GET PREGNANT ALREADY!
Angie and Gamble - Sorry Gamble, I still can't call you by your first name. Zach just doesn't fit you. You aren't a Zach to me! Lol Gamble works though! Anyways, I wish nothing but the best in life for the two of you and your newest baby girl on the way. I wish we had more time to spend together and get to know eachother after deployment and before we PCSed but we all know how the Army works. The time we have had though has been nothing but times filled with ridiculous laughter! If you end up in New York or somewhere that doesn't include where we want you to be, make sure
to tell me and I'll go fuck someone up! We love you ;) And to everyone else! We have friends everywhere and you all mean alot! We will miss everyone and hope to one day meet again!
Well...that about wraps it up. I figured that I'd give everyone love in one message rather then trying to send individual messages on this damn porn top..So slllloooowwwww. Wahhhh.
