So Long Salazars

Three days after bringing Camille home from the hospital Hillary and Ben moved out. It was a fairly hectic few days. Both of us were dealing with really busy things- us with a newborn and them with moving- but neither could really help each other. So we co-existed in our house while both concentrating our respective busy things. 

Following those busy days, on Saturday morning the Salazars brought breakfast over and we had a relaxed morning. It was a nice ending to the 9 months we cohabitated. Before they moved in with us I pictured they would live in our basement and we would hang out constantly. It turned out that we were all very busy with essentially opposite schedules so it frequently felt like we'd go a while without even really interacting besides Hillary babysitting two mornings a week. 

We are going to miss the Salazars a whole bunch. Sadie frequently got confused this year when trying to describe who was in her family. Hillary and Ben were often included. in drawings of our immediate family. She knew they were relatives but the fact that they lived in our house made her think there was something extra there.

 It really is the end of an era. Hillary arrived in Utah as a BYU freshman 1 month after Sadie was born. She has spent countless hours watching my kids over the past 5 years. She and I have become good friends, when we didn't know each other very much before. 

We love you, Ben & Hillary. We hope Detroit is more than you could ever dream of!
