Goodbye Again

If your name starts with Jess you need not apply to be my friend. Just kidding of course. But this is the 2nd time in about a months time that I have had one of my dearest friends move. One named Jessie and the other Jessica.
Jessica and Kenny Hammond left for Chicago yesterday morning. We went to Chili's with them on Wednesday for dinner. Lou and I were joking that Chili's is now our officially our goodbye restaurant. We went there the night before Timm and Jessie moved and now with Kenny and Jessica. If you're our friends and you're planning on moving plan on going to Chili's. Dinner was great we always have such a good time with them. No matter what the situation we know that we're going to laugh and laugh with Kenny and Jessica. Kenny and Lou have very similar senses of humor so they just play off each other so well and Jessica is also very funny. It was great but of course hard.
We've known Kenny and Jessica for a very long time. Kenny's older brother Ben was our first home teacher when Lou and I got married. Ben and his wife Kerri are also our very good friends. Ben would come to home teach and be at our house for at least 2 hours. Ben and Lou always had so many things to talk about. Their love of Star Wars, Lego's, both having brothers growing up, growing up in Idaho etc... Well quickly we became very good friends with Ben and Kerri. About 2 years or so after we met Ben, Kenny got off his mission (Miami which was awesome for me since Sharon lives there) and wow Kenny and Lou just hit it off. Then when Kenny and Jessica started to date, we just loved her. Kenny and Jessica started doing things with us all the time. It was great. I just love Jessica, she is my Jazz friend. I love having a friend that knows about basketball and loves it too. (She played in high school) One of my favorite memories with Jessica is when we went to a Jazz game together. Jessica's old work had a suite so we went together. It was so much fun. We've watched a lot of games together. What girl friend of mine now will watch Jazz games with me? We've had countless game nights with the Hammonds, dinners out, movies. I love Kenny and Jessica, I know this isn't the end of our friendship. We've been friends for too long and too good of friends to let distance change things. I feel like we're almost apart of the Hammond family with all of the family events we've been to of theres (weddings, baby blessings etc). Chicago is a great place to visit. Her mom lives here in Provo, so I know we'll soon be laughing together again.
