This past weekend was a "Gribas Weekend"! Adam & Ellie are moving to Texas tomorrow :( We had a huge block party going away party for them on Saturday. And we celebrated their little baby growing inside Ellie on Sunday! I was kinda in a funk for both events, and I was trying to figure out why. They were fun filled times, with tons of great friends and fellowship. Granted, I was fighting off a cold, but still...so, after evaluating my thoughts at both functions I've come to the conclusion that: I'M SAD. So sad to see them go. Every time I think about it I tear up and my heart hurts. (Actually I have tears streaming my face as I type) So I think this weekend i kinda made myself go numb.
I love them so much! Our family loves them so much! They are going to be deeply missed! I hate the thought of not being able to see Ellie's tummy grow with that precious baby! And to not see Adam as a Daddy just wrecks me! I can't stand it!
Michael & I met Adam 8 years ago at Hume....He came out for our wedding in the fall of '03 and never left. He lived in "our first home" before I even did! Twice! ha! He became family and Maui became home! We were in ministry together forever! We did life together! And then finally, God's beautiful gift came to him in Ellie, and when he met her we were beyond excited! Together they are such an incredible story of God's perfect timing and orchestrating. Michael was in their wedding. They've been married over a year now, and we even lived on the same street. They announced their move a few months ago and days later found out they were prego! (:
Which brings us to now...it's good-bye for now....please don't get me wrong, I am so stoked for their new adventures in Texas, and for them to be close to family, and all the new opportunities that await this oh so amazing couple! But, the selfish part of me wants to keep them here! Close to us! Mikaela & Zachy Boy are totally gonna miss their Uncle Adam & Auntie Ellie too. So at this moment, with more sadness than gladness, I have to say, Aloha.....We LOVE you 3 dearly and you will be terribly missed. (more tears)

That was beautiful Ciara, and so well written. Many will be tearing up as they read this, I did.
goodbye Adam and Ellie. I know they will be greatly missed. I know about that sad feeling, too.
