Going Away

I decided since it's been about a month since we left WY that I should probably post pictures of our going away party! I do have a pretty cute video of the kiddos in the pool that I'll have to upload later.

Sam and Beth were our gracious hosts for the day......Thank you so much guys! You really let us take over your house...the whole clan came over: me, Matt, Avery and Sammi! We are so blessed because really all of our friends offered to host a party for us, it just was a matter of when and where. We had a great time and thanks to everyone who came out to say goodbye. :) We had so much yummy food...as seems to be custom with our get-togethers!

On to the sappy part...

We made so many great friends in Wyoming....those friends really ended up becoming family. We spent so many holidays together; many of our families grew in size, whether it was little bundles of joy or little furry friends; we all "borrowed" each others husbands while our's was away on alert...and of course that's when EVERYTHING would happen; if someone called in need of help, whatever it happened to be, no questions were asked just a "we'll be right there"; new friends were added while old ones moved on to other parts of the country. We had so many parties and BBQs together that I cannot even count. When you were in our homes, you were family. I am talking in past tense because most of us have left, or will be on their way soon. Even though we are now scattered throughout the country, you all will be in our hearts forever. We will see all of you again I know, some sooner than others. It's really not a goodbye, but rather a "see you later!". How do you say goodbye to people who have really become family??

I really could go on and on and on about how much we will miss all of you and how much you were like family but as I'm in tears writing this (because I'm a dork!!) I need to stop and post some pictures.

Some of the gang hanging out.
