WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It has finally come to this. I am, once again, living life officially by myself. No more family around. It's just me. (On the count of three... pooooooor Andreaaaa) Life is a funny thing. I moved here to be closer to my siblings. And now... they've done it... they've all moved away and left me in their dust. (Britt leaves next month!).
Amy has been my sidekick for the last two years. As much of a pain in the butt sisters can be to each other sometimes (and we know it) I don't think I'll ever miss anyone more than I'm going to miss her.
I'll be honest, it took awhile to adjust having family nearby again after I had lived away from them for so long. I had been flying solo for several years, and I just got used to it. It was just me, and I loved the independence. But now I've gotten used to having them around again, and I prefer it that way. I may have shed a tear or two when the little Maizer packed her bags and left. There'll be no more baseball games, no more random shopping trips (maybe that's a good thing), and no more Abe therapy. I'm going to miss this kid. She's become one of my best friends. And I guess that's the way it ought to be.
Thanks John for the fantastic photography :)

Sad. That almost made me cry. I am still here for a few more weeks. Take advantage while you can!
SOO sad! I can be your DC family!
Okay, that made me cry! Come home again...any day any time!
Thanks sister. I've been so busy I didn't see this until now, and I'll be honest, it made me tear up. I miss not coming home and having you around, it's weird not being with you everyday, and not knowing what's happening ever day in your life. I sure miss you, life will never be the same!
Andrea wish we were closer!
