The Farewells Have Begun

Well, this mission "thing" is really getting real.  We attended our last sacrament meeting in our home ward today and said good bye to many great people.  Then we had our son Craig and his family, three young families from his ward that we have become friends with, a couple from our ward, our next door neighbors and Linda (who will be living in our house) over for dinner.  

All in all we had 15 adults and 17 kids. Lots of fun!!!  The kids  picnicked in the front yard then went to the basement to watch a movie while the adults had a quiet dinner with lots of uninterrupted time for visiting. A good time was had by all.

Thanks to Natalie Ipson for the great farewell banner.  We leave on Thursday for Salt Lake City, so yes, we are definitely in crunch time.
