They lived on the same block in Central Park West during that time and spent lots of time together.  Their kids would play together, they had date nights together, and they spent many evenings enjoying drinks at each other\u2019s homes.  After making a very tough decision, the Koehns decided to move to Willow Park East.  \u201cWe weren\u2019t necessarily looking,\u201d said Anne Koehn.  \u201cWe just went to one of the Infinity models and I fell in love with it.  Obviously, the hardest thing was leaving our friends the Stagemeyers.  But we know that we built a lifetime friendship with them when we were living in Central Park West.\u201d  The Stagemeyers agree.  \u201cWe absolutely love Anne and Craig,\u201d said Colleen Stagemeyer.  \u201cOf course, we are sad they moved, but we will definitely <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-friendship-ends-after-family-moves-23-minutes-away\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keep this friendship<\/a> forever.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nThe couples haven\u2019t seen each other since the Koehns moved away, but the Stagemeyers surprised the Koehns with some great news two weeks ago.  \u201cI called Anne and let her know we were planning a trip her direction and we wanted to stay for the weekend,\u201d said Colleen.  \u201cThey were so excited, and of course, our family was as well.\u201d  The Stagemeyrs had never been to Willow Park East so they were excited to see what it was all about after hearing great things about it.  \u201cThere is so much to do here.  We wanted to make sure we showed them a great time,\u201d said Anne.  \u201cThe kids have already made friends over here, and Jeff, my husband was able to keep his same job, so that was nice.  We are really adjusting well to life in Willow Park East.\u201d\nBefore the Friday arrival of their guests, the Koehns made sure to grab plenty of beverages for their friends from their new liquor stop, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cobev.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Beverage Company<\/a>.  The Stagemeyers arrived Friday afternoon, and were immediately impressed with the community.  \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe the size of the homes,\u201d said Colleen.  \u201cI mean, they were all so big and beautiful.  We definitely had house envy.\u201d  The kids all started playing again like old times and the couples sat down to catch up and enjoy some cocktails.  They took a walk around Willow Park East while the Koehns pointed out the history of the place.  Saturday, there was more sightseeing along with some lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/torchystacos.com\/location\/stapleton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Torchy\u2019s Tacos<\/a>.  \u201cI had heard of Torchy\u2019s, but never had been to one,\u201d said Colleen.  \u201cIt was really good food and a fun place.  So neat that they live so close to one.\u201d  The Stagemeyers were so impressed during the visit, Colleen tried to get her husband to move there.  \u201cWe would definitely consider it,\u201d said Colleen.  \u201cI just don\u2019t think it would work with my husband\u2019s job.\u201d  Overall, the Stagemeyers enjoyed their visit to Willow Park East and definitely plan to come back.  \u201cNo matter where the Koehns moved we would come visit them.  But we did really love Willow Park East.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-136","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6613\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
