\t\t\t\t\"end<\/a>It has been a great run for the Dillinghams and the Millers. Their families have been great friends for almost five years living near each other in the Westerly Creek neighborhood in Stapleton. They each have kids roughly the same age, so they spent many weekend nights hanging out, having cocktails and letting the kids play. \u201cWe absolutely love the Millers,\u201d says Susan Dillingham. \u201cNothing will take away the great times we have had over these years. They are a great couple with great kids. We wish them the best in their new adventure, and we definitely will keep in touch with them.\u201d\n\nAlthough neither family will officially say that the friendship is over, they both understand that having much more than an electronic relationship will be difficult. The Millers are moving to Observatory Park in Denver, which is over a 20 minute drive away. \u201cIt is going to be hard,\u201d said Diane Miller. \u201cWe love Stapleton, and the Dillinghams have been a big part of that. But, the location is better for my husband\u2019s commute, we found a great home, and a great school for the kids. Are they Stapleton-great? Time will tell.\u201d The Millers understand the difficulty in keeping a friendship together outside of Stapleton\u2019s borders. \u201cYou get pretty used to walking or riding bikes to hang out with your friends,\u201d says Diane. \u201cThe idea of getting in a car and driving somewhere to spend time with others just washes away once you move to Stapleton. I mean, there are so many fun people right here. Why cross Quebec?\u201d\nThe Dillinghams stop short of saying the Millers will be replaced, but feel they will be able to meet another fun Stapleton couple. \u201cWho knows,\u201d asks Susan. \u201cOur next new best friends may move into their place. Plus, we have spent so much time with them over the last several years, maybe we weren\u2019t giving enough attention to other potential great friendships in Stapleton.\u201d Of course, Susan and Diane will be sorry to lose their connection, but they at least will make an effort to keep it going. \u201cObviously, with Facebook, you can\u2019t completely lose touch,\u201d says Diane. \u201cThen, I know we will keep inviting each other to our kids\u2019 birthday parties.\u201d Susan says there is even the talks of a family vacation to visit the Millers next summer. \u201cWe are already talking about heading over there for a couple of days,\u201d says Susan. \u201cI hear it is beautiful over there, and there are some fun things for the kids to do. We may just make that happen.\u201d Unless, of course, some new best Stapleton friends come around by then.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
