My best friend, Sierra, and her husband took a long awaited vacation. During this time period, her husband fell in love with the countryside. He even paid a visit to the local realtor, Sonoma County Real Estate. As he looked through many brochures, he decided that this was the place for his family to be. When Sierra called to inform me of their plans, I was very excited for them. Yet, I was very sad that my friend was leaving me. We had been friends for many years and had never lived very far apart. This would be a hard transition, but one we knew we could accomplish.
