Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?


Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

We'll Be Seeing You

June is both the greatest month and the saddest month of the year!  It is a month full of change, excited meant, and anxiety.  Two of the greatest people I have meet in the last year have filled our lives this month and for that I am thankful.
It starts with Breanna and Miss E.  The love I have for these two girls is overwhelming.  We love you so much.  I still love that one of E's first words was Leah and four months later she still chants Leah's name while running around the house.
Your visit here was unbelievably fun.  I feel like we know you so much better now.  The things we learnt about one another over that week made our friendship so much stronger.  You are by far the most easy going house guest that I have ever had and it makes us want to book you for more visits in the future.  I find myself wishing you were still here.  Truth be told I am pretty sure that Dave misses you guys too.  Brandi misses you so much she peed in your room.  (Let me tell you how excited I was to find that on the duvet!).
It brings tears to my eyes when I think that you are leaving us for sunny California.  I still even find myself thinking that you still live down the street and I will just take Brandi for a "Kosmynka" walk.  But truth be told I still can't bring myself to walk down your old street.  We are going to miss you so much!  Much love from the Lindgren's.

Now, Mrs and Miss Hawkeye.  I was vibrating the day you landed in Edmonton and I didn't even get to see you that day.  I kept asking Breanna if she thought that you had landed yet.  Then came Thursday!  We were all so excited the girls barely took a morning nap.  I am pretty sure that I jumped and down and screamed "there here there here" when I saw your car pull up.  I have missed the two of you so much over the last 6 months.  I am so happy that we get to see you two more times before you leave.  Little E is so precious.  She is such a cutie pie that I want to eat her up with little kisses on her nose.  We missed Auntie G around here.  Leah knows that her mom doesn't have as many fun songs, silly rhymes, and little games as Auntie G does.  I love how the kids gravitate to you when you are in the room.  I missed your crazy stories and your zest for life!  We will miss you again so much when you leave but know that you will be back in 6 months to work a few more shifts.  I am so glad that rule is in place as it guarantees a bi-yearly visit!

The end of June will be a hard time indeed.  It signifies our Lew Crew foursome going down to two.  It will be difficult to say good by this time to two truly great friends.  I know that time flies by, I know that you will be back , and I know that there is always an open invitation to visit.  But it doesn't make the initial good bye any easier.  Katie and I will keep Lew Crew going. We will ensure that the name doesn't get lost and are hoping and praying that in 2 years the Lew Crew will be back and that all members actually live in the west end!  I know that life takes us on all sorts of journeys'.  It takes us on adventures to meet new people, gain new friendships, and find those who truly touch our lives forever.  I am glad to say that the Lew Crew girls have truly touch our lives forever.

I know that you will read this.  I hope you understand and feel the emotion that I am trying to portray.  I know that come Thursday I will hear about it.  But I had to say it now, before I get caught up in the moment.  Before I chickened out.  Before time passes me by.  I don't believe in saying goodbye so for now I will just say...We'll be seeing you...
