Friends...

I'm feeling a little sentimental today. I'm trying really hard not to feel sad about moving. I've lived in Germany longer than I've lived any place since I was 16 years old. During that time, I've met a lot of wonderful people. And saying goodbye is really, really hard.

I had dinner with Mary Anne, so we could have one more chance to "hang out" before things got too crazy. It was so fun to spend time with her. I'm not looking forward to the "real" goodbye next week. In fact, I'm trying not to think about it:

I am filling this post with photos of those I love and that I will miss. I have already said goodbye to most of them. But these women have certainly blessed by life in so many ways... 

Please forgive the selfish-ness of this post. It is my walk down memory lane. I'm going to type names for my sake. I won't be re-typing names even though several women are in several pictures...
