My gratitude list continues... Allyson and Kyle are two people that I am extremely gratefuly for. We have been close with them for many years. We have lived next door or up and around the corner for for 4 of the past 6 years. We moved next door to them the first time in February of 2005. Brian was doing a lot of travel then and I relied so heavily on Kyle and Allyson. I remember having a water leak and Kyle fixing it for me at midnight. I also remember him helping me with the boys - especially Hunter who was having a rather difficult time with his dad being gone. One of my fondest memories of that time is the day that Allyson was in labor with Chloe and she called me. She was having signs of labor that I had never had so I reassured her that I was sure everything was fine and told her to get ready. Kyle was golfing so Brian and I prepared to take her to the hospital. While I was getting our stuff, I called the hospital to make sure that the symptoms she was having were okay so that when I saw her I wouldn't freak her out. Allyson is super laid back - nothing ever rattles her. She is the opposite of me...everything rattles me. Many times she has had to help me see things from a different prospective. I remember right after Chloe was born, we were living next door to them and Brian thought it was time to move but I didn't want too. Allyson tried to assure me that nothing would change but I told them that I wasn't going and I was really stubborn about it. So she came to my house and helped packing up. I realized that it didn't matter where we lived, we would remain close. We love traveling with them and we love that they love Disneyland.

Chloe is very sad that she is still too short
to ride California Screamin' - the upside down
roller coaster. |
We love their girls, Chloe and Peyton. And we love that they love us! Many times, Chloe will have sleep overs and she even got to go to Disneyland with us while her mom was sick in the hospital with Peyton. I am so grateful and feel so blessed that they trust us to look after their girls and I hope they know that we love them to pieces. I am so grateful that they live near us again. There are only 7 houses that seperate us now and we get to see them everyday. I am so appreciate of all the support they have given us and advice/venting outlet that they have provided me with over the past 6 months. I love them all and feel very blessed to have them in my life.
