Farewell party! (this event actually took place before the beach trip in July)

A big huge thank you shout out to my peeps for making this evening happen. The Ortiz Family hosted it at their house and the Carpenter family spear-headed the event. It was such a neat evening. Awesome food provided by everyone, tons of hugs, a tearful slide show, swimming for the kids and much much more. We so needed to feel the support from our friends and family. We appreciated the opportunity to say goodbye to so many families that we might not otherwise have the time to see before we left. It was a blessing on many many levels. Thank you- thank you -thank you!!!1
