The Farewells

We bid farewell to our lovely neighborhood with a few last hikes and bike rides. Des finally hit the flying squirrel solo, Sum mastered her bike, we all hiked Mt. Taylor and were granted a few last epic sunsets.

We bid farewell to our beloved school with one last Catholic holiday to celebrate.

And some sad and tearful farewells to our cute, cute friends.

Annie was lucky enough to squeeze in one last sleepover party for her birthday.

And Kenna's friends surprised her with a huge goodbye bash at a nearby gymnasium. I even got a fun girls night out with my buds at the new chocolate restaurant with a late night chick flick afterwards.

We have been so blessed with friendships here.

A fond farewell to our house.

And many beautiful church/neighborhood friends we will cherish forever.

Kenna got to accompany a song the last day of Primary

some of our fun Faith in God group

our awesome Sister Missionaries

I'll tell ya what, that week held some of the hardest goodbyes I've had the misfortune of ever having to experience. But hallelujah for the internet and Skype to keep us semi-in-touch from afar.
