sacramento-apartments

My two good friends are moving this week.  Andrew

and Nicole have always been great people in my life

that command a large spot in my heart.  Still cannot

believe that they are leaving and I have known about

their definite change of address for over a year now.

I have never been able to escape the period of denial

until the very last moment.  Then it's like the grief

is crazy-tough.  The two of them are just such great

people that it's like what I imagine it must feel like

to have a child moving away for college. I mean I have

known the two of them since we were all in middle

school. I watched them meet and I knew then that these

two should be together.  Since then it has been an

amazing experience to watch them become an amazing

couple, get married, and start up their own business

online.  That last part is where all of the change

today is coming from.

       All of their plans began
about a year ago when one of

our friends who lives in one of the downtown

apartments in Sacramento.
 He was also a wholesaler of

the type of clothes that they sell.  He decided that

he was going to change businesses and needed someone

to buy his inventory.  Rather than selling it off to

someone else in the business, he asked Andrew and

Nicole first.  They had been looking at Sacramento
apartments

 before this because they wanted to live out

west.  So when he dropped the question, they barely

blinked an eye and said yes.  The first thing I heard

they were putting in calls to myriad Sacramento

Apartments and had begun organizing a going away party

for themselves.

       Now I am not overreacting
her, am I? They are just

the two people who have had the most positive

influence upon my life, and now they're leaving for

good.  Now instead if being able to walk two miles to

see them whenever I want, I will need a plane ticket

or a car that can withstand a four thousand mile

journey.  I guess this is just one of those

experiences where you have to grow or you're just

hurting yourself.
