Well, it has finally set in that we are going to be leaving Abilene by the end of the month. I really didn't believe it a week ago when we first got the news about the job, but after a trip to Frisco and some time to unwind, I realize it is in fact true. BJ and I are both excited about starting this new chapter in our life, but here are some of the things I know I'm going to miss (in no particular order).
-Little Panda. The best Chinese food on earth.
-Late night trips to Walmart with Bro. And especially the part where we wake up the next morning only to realize we forgot to take the groceries out of the car. How many gallons of milk have we ruined that way?
-Nugent. Yeah, we most definitely cried the entire church service this Sunday. I actually wasn't sure if BJ would make it through his sermon.
-$500 a month for rent. Not happening in Frisco.
-Jack and Jill's apple fritters. Krispie Kremes has nothing on this local chain.
-Fat Tuesday. I don't know what I'll do without my weekly dose of crazy girl talk, home-cooked food, and chocolate.
-Josh and Allie. They've been BJ's friends forever, but strangely enough, I feel like I've known them for just as long. You just can't beat old friends.
-Monks. Iced tuxedo mocha and talking with Allie and Em...need I say more.
-Driving by the place where I got married everyday.
-ACU. Parts of the college drive me nuts, but overall, it was a great four years.
-Being close to family. We're only two hours from my parents, and both of our siblings are within five blocks.
-But most of all, I'll miss living in a town that is on the top of every alphabetically organized list. This is surprisingly convenient.
