Recently we've found out that two couples we love very much will be moving to the midwest this summer. I can't help but feel like we're getting dumped.
"It's not you, it's me."
Usually this is the punchline to a breakup but right now it's more of a condolence for myself.
The Beattys and Morrows have been awesome friends and we're going to miss them tremendously.
The Beattys will be moving to Illinois where Brian will be the new communication director at a church in a Chicago suburb. Kirsten will be looking for teaching possibilities while she continues to be a great mother. Brian has been my friend, co-worker, and in a lot of ways my mentor. Kirsten has been a great encouragement and friend to Liz and myself. Yesterday she threw Liz's baby shower. The ways that they have supported and loved us have been amazing. We'll miss them.
The Morrows will be moving to Minnesota where David will, no doubt, find an amazing job. And Erica will be able to have the support of David's family and her sister in raising their little girl. David has been my sounding board, roommate, groomsman, and my best friend (besides my wife). Also, the relationships between Erica and Liz has been one of the most natural, beautiful, and loving relationships I've ever seen. We love them so much and we're beside ourselves thinking about what life is going to be like without having them in close proximity.
So as far as getting dumped is concerned, it always hurts.
It hurts even more when you care for the person.
Hoping it's you, and not me,
Jeremiah

I'm sorry we're leaving. We will miss you more than I have words to properly describe. You're the best.
