Goodbye Andersons! Hello 80's!!

Why do the people we love so much always seem to move away?? Our dear friends, the Anderson's, moved away this weekend. To none other than, Utah! Luckily we go to Utah enough to see all the people who have left us.

This move will be especially hard on Miss Sadie. Her and Kenadee have been attached at the hip for the past 3 years. When Kenadee's dad came to pick them up the morning after their last sleepover, Sadie ran in the other room and started crying. It broke my heart. Poor Kenadee was holding it back, but later reports tell that she broke down hard when she got home.

Evan and Michael are good friends as well. He will miss him dearly!

So to say goodbye, we had to throw a rager! We have been wanting to have an 80's party for a very long time. And this occasion was the perfect time to do it! Everyone came dressed up and ready to party. It was very AWESOME!!

The Kinnies and the Wilkins

We played an 80's version of Name that Tune. It was so fun to hear all that music. So after that game got our juices flowing we went downstairs and did a little Karaoke and danced. When I say danced, I mean DANCED!! A bunch of 30 something couples, dancing for HOURS to some great music. I am almost embarrassed at how crazy I got. And let me remind you that none of us drink alcohol!

Courteney Crandall, Shelly Buttars, and Courtnee Kennedy

As I mentioned before we did a little karaoke. Of course I couldn't pass it up so I sang a little "Love Shack" by the B52's. And then Charity Wilkins and I sang "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar. You just gotta love the 80's!

Russel and Justin were the only ones sporting the lovely thigh that night. They both looked very authentic! (As well as a little nasty!)

I made sure to get my bangs as high as I could. It was just like old times! We purchased our outfits at the Good Will about 1 hour before the party. Not to shabby.

We sure are going to miss these guys! They are good, fun people. We are lucky to call them our friends. They are going to be missed dearly! Best of luck to you all in Utah. We love you!!
