One of the very sad things about living in a college town is that we have to say good-bye to friends each year. Today was a sad one for the Hansen family as we said goodbye to the Palmer family. This picture was taken today as they loaded up into the moving truck and headed out for Connecticut. They are driving on to a new adventure and we are missing them already!
Here are just a few things that I will miss about our friends:
1) Running at Stone Mountain with Clairon. How many other friends would put up with increasing their mileage from 5 to 10 miles because I was training! She was pure motivation for me and I loved our talks while we ran.
2) Seeing her sweet boys at Primary and having them give me hugs.
3) Having a friend for Jason that enjoyed talking science with him. Trust me, those are rare and Jason will surely miss Matt!
4) Knowing that Ava was always loved and taken care of while I was at the hospital with Kate. Clairon has taken her nearly each visit since Kate's diagnosis.
5) Having Clairon there at book group. I really appreciated her perspective on nearly everything.
6) Christmas Caroling Party at their home each holiday season.
7) Easter dinner with them - kind of became a tradition for the past 3 years.
8) Friends to call on and count on. It's pretty neat to have someone that you know you can count on and vice-versa.
Good luck Palmers!

GOOD LUCK, PALMERS!
It's so hard to have friends move far away. These blogs help us all "stay in touch" now, though. Keep up the good work!
You have good friends because YOU are a good friend....not an accident but a blessing for sure
they will be missed--what an amazing family. i feel like i've lost a major part of my GA family over just the past few months and the Palmers were definitely a big chunk!! Ditto to all of the great things you said about them.
wow!! that is a big loss for the Brockett ward. they will be missed. how sad. that was definitely the HARDEST part about living there.
