Saying goodbye

Our last weekend in Maryland was incredible. We were surrounded by great friends, the Love of Christ, and an immense amount of help to get ready to sell the house and get on the road. Friends put in over 30 man-hours to help us hide the evidence that 4 kids and 2 dogs had ravaged the place for almost 4 years. I am so thankful for their friendship and for modeling Christ's love to our children.
On Saturday afternoon, we were treated to a semi-surprise going away party, with nearly everyone we know from the church there. We are so blessed to have known and loved these people. This is what makes saying goodbye so hard.
All weekend, the girls spent time at their friends' houses, enjoying one last visit.
This evening was probably the toughest goodbye, when Katelynn had to say goodbye to her best friend. I know it will be even harder in a few days when their moms will have to do the same.
