Goodbyes are never easy. I have had to say my fair share of goodbyes throughout the years, but one of the hardest ones came yesterday. I had to say goodbye to my best friend Lacey.

| The bestie! |
Lacey's husband is in the military and so we knew that this day would come when they would be leaving to go on a new adventure in a new place. Hawaii to be exact(lucky girl!) But honestly I think in the back of my mind I tried to pretend it wasn't happening. That unfortunately didn't work. I know that it isn't goodbye forever, because I will see her again, but when you don't know when that will be, it is really hard.

Lacey and I have pretty much been inseparable for the last 6 years. We met our Freshman year of college when we were on the Cheerleading squad together and at first we hated each other. I thought she was too loud and she thought I was too nice. That changed pretty quickly and over our four years in college we became best friends.

During our Senior year she started dating this guy in the military. I was pretty excited about it because first of all you could tell how happy she was and second, because he was stationed in my home town, which meant that she would be there a lot more visiting him and if things went well, she would live there at some point. Well everything happened to work out and they got married and she has been living here for the past couple of years.

She has always been with me during these past six years and I hoped that it would always be that way, but life is not like that. I am very excited for her and this new chapter in her life, but it will definitely be hard to not have her here anymore. We have been there for each other through relationships, break ups, losing loved ones, a deployment, sitting through Global Christianity together and a lot of other ups and downs and I know that we will continue to be there for each other. We have also made some crazy, funny and just ridiculous memories and I don't think that I could ask for a better friend. I love you Lacey Lou and I hope that you have a fantastic time in Hawaii and I promise that I will come visit!!
