A Sweet Send Off

I already miss all of our good friends from Durham.  It's hard to leave such fantastic people.  What makes it even harder is if they throw you a fantastic going away party.  It was hard to realize we were going to have to say goodbye to all of these people, but it was so nice to have the opportunity to see everyone before we left.

My awesome friends and neighbors Nathalie and Jill took on the task of organizing the affair.  The cul-de-sac was all set up for a great barbeque.  The weather was beautiful.  Everyone came, brought delicious food, and it was so nice to see everyone.  The kids had a great time playing in the grass, cul-de-sac, and on the treehouse while all the adults chatted and ate as much food as they could!

It was one of those moments where we just sat back and wondered why we were really leaving all of this-great neighbors and great friends.  Some we had known for more than a decade, others we had just met recently, but we will definitely remember everyone and definitely see them all when we come back to visit!

Thanks for a great evening, everyone!
