Starting to say "good-bye"

This week-end we started in on our "good-byes" to some very dear friends here.  Moves are very exciting, but not this part.  It is amazing how quickly we can come to know and love the wonderful friends God brings into our lives at each assignment.  Leaving them is so hard.  I got to go out with a few ladies the other night.  For sushi.  It was a much needed relaxing evening out.

*We ended our evening with a sweet time of prayer over a dear friend who was not able to be with us.  What a joy and privilege it was to lift her up in prayer together.

The next day a dear friend had arranged for a "good-bye" party at a local park.  The kids ran and played.  The ladies chatted.  The men talked.  It was a great last get-together with these dear friends. 

*This young woman has some special "baby magic" She had just handed Miss A to me after putting her to sleep!

A BIG thank you to all of you who came!  We have been so blessed by your friendships!  We will miss you, and expect you to show up for visits in our new home!
