a mad libs goodbye

Our awesome friends the Johnson's and Nichols's put together a life saving bag of fun for our kids to enjoy while we made the 36 hour trek from Oregon to Texas.  The highlight?  A handmade mad libs card.  I'll share the joy...(I'll italicize the "fill in the blank" word.)

A Mad Libs Goodbye Card!

To our pretty  friends, the Whitmer's
Love your silly  friends, the Nichol's & Johnson's

"Do you know what today is?" asked Eve.
"Halloween?"  asked Will.
"Oh my Goodness"   I remember!  The Whitmer's are moving today," said Gab    silly-ly.
"That's right", said Eleanor.
"Man, that is stupendous  news", said Holly.
"I know", said Sam.   We've made so many hilarious   memories together.
"Do you remember the time we went to The Berry Farm and ate the toilet?" said Ginny.
"That was freaky!! How about the Christmas   where we climbed M&M's together?" said Gwyn.
"And it was always so fun watching the 3 boastful underpants play together", said Holly.
"How can we let them go to Food 4 Less without us? said Eve.
"It will be really hard because the Whitmer's are all irreplaceable friends, but because we are such great friends, even being separated by 8972 trees can't end our friendships" said Gabe.
"That is 73 percent true", said Sam.
"Our love for them is limitless and every time we are blessed to be together again, it will be like picking up right where we left off!"
"So our parting words for the Whitmer's...Jared  Luke, good luck sleeping.  Makenna and   Aimee, have fun crying.  Ben, we know you will make lots of humongous    basketballs   instantly!

"As for us, know that we will pray for you daily & miss you minutely!  But this is not goodbye!  We'll close by saying we love you lots and we'll see you soon.

All our love,
The Nichol &  Johnson families


We were all in tears from laughter and also from realizing how much we are going to miss our dear friends.  We love you guys, thanks for the smiles from hours 4 through 28 on the long drive out!  (seriously, we re-wrote the card many times after this first initial one...)
