AZ: Goodbyes

It's taken me a few weeks to begin writing about our last weeks in AZ for 2 reasons: Life has been a WHIRLWIND and some of these memories have been a bit too fresh to recall without really making me miss our dear friends!

The time right in the weeks leading up to our move was very full. I wished I could have had some good quality goodbyes with everyone but time didn't seem to allow.

I enjoyed some great girl luncheons and great conversations with some good friends. 

And we got in a few good last gatherings with our neighborhood buddies...

Our dear neighbor Jen came to our rescue several times with her amazing packing help, not to mention comic relief- getting creative while packing up the dress-ups

I've decided it's just not too fun to tear up your "nest". I've grown up always hearing that the home is a sacred place. Leaving our home to a new family made me realize all the wonderful, very important family moments that happened within these walls!

Some neighborhood friends held a goodbye get together for us. It was such a great chance to chat and let the kids play.

I am SO grateful for the blessing of wonderful, lifelong friends while we lived in Arizona!
