The past week has been a whirlwind of activity - completing the move out of our home, packing suitcases, and putting the rest in storage. We are so grateful for the patience and support of our family. I don't think we could have made this decision without all their help.
Sunday, July 15, was our "farewell" in Sacrament meeting. It was very humbling to have the support of so many family members and friends who were in attendance. Anna played a beautiful piano solo between our talks which was the icing on the cake. It was a little bitter-sweet as I looked out over the audience knowing we would be gone for two years - we have been in this same ward since 1976. It will be still there when we return, but there are always lots of changes.
Family and friends gathered at "our" home for lunch and visiting. Lots of fun and pictures completed the day, and we fell exhausted into bed that night - thankful for the many blessing we shared today.
