Saying Goodbye

I have been so consumed with packing and all of the details of moving, that I didn't really think about all of the people I wanted to say goodbye to. I'm sure on some level I was keeping extra busy to avoid having to think about it... I knew it was going to be hard- and it was.

I saw my extended family at my Parents' anniversary party, and then I saw my parents again for lunch a few days before I flew out.

Jeremy's family had a going away party for us, and it was nice to see so many of them come out to support us. Even though we know they are sad that we are leaving, their unconditional love means so much to us!

I went out with my brother Gary and loved having so much time together. 

My good friend Ryan came for about an hour the same night, 

and it was great to see him as well.

Dinner with my High School friends.

Went to lunch with my good friend Megan, and although I don't have a picture of us, 

we laughed when we got the receipt and saw the name of our table. 

Dinner with my (some of) my Sister Wives.

Since I spent my birthday weekend in Mesquite with a 

lot of the ladies, I decided to just have a few of them

 join me for my last night. 

A big thanks to Paula for letting me stay with her for the week!

While at dinner, I ran into two people 

that meant a great deal to me growing up, 

so it seemed like fate to see them on my last night in Utah. 

They were in Japan for the last three years 

and just got home a few weeks ago. 

Fate I tell ya.

I fly to my new HOME in the morning!!!
