Our Going Away Party

Friday night, I thought I was going to a friend's house for dinner...WELL...low and behold...it was a surprise going away party with lots of my very best friends!!!! I was TOTALLY surprised! I walked in, and there were a FEW more people there than I thought were going to be there! It was awesome! So, thank you to EVERYONE who planned, came, and had fun with us!


We had a YUMMY BBQ dinner, and FABULOUS desserts (my hips thank you! ha ha ha!). It was so fun to sit and chat with some of the best friends I have ever had. Thank you everyone. I am REALLY going to miss you all.




This collage cracks me up...and really shows some of the highlights of the night!



This Collage shows some of the best pics. of the night! I knew I would probably end up crying, which I did! It is just hard to feel like I am leaving such good friends. But, thankfully, last week at Women's Conference, I had a strong confirmation that Utah is where we are supposed to be. ( Good thing...since that's where we are going anyway, huh?!!)




Thanks Again guys. Love you all!
Love,
Mike, Kara and Girls

Looks like you had some wonderful friends! It makes me stressed for you to imagine what you have to go through... mostly moving, packing, and adjusting to new surroundings. I am so glad you will be closer. I really want to plan some get togethers.

I'm excited you guys are coming to Utah. I'm sad that you have to leave your friends behind. That is so hard to do. I felt kinda cool that my mom told me you guys were moving to Utah and I could say, "I know!" (It's rare that I find something out before my mom about ya'll!) And from what I understand you'll be moving to the Ave's. So we'll be very close! Ya'll have to go to a U game with us this fall! We're big fans!
