So Long, Farewell...auf weidersehen, adieu!

This weekend has been full of goodbyes! It's bitter-sweet to say goodbyes to favorite friends and still be excited to continue with our adventure. Last night there was a babyshower for my visiting-teaching companion, so I grabbed as many pictures as I could. And then today, I had to say goodbye to my two callings (Branch Pianist and Primary Pres. 1st Counselor). For my fellow Del Rio 2nd Branch bloggers, here are some of the pictures!

Liz Ann - I'm going to miss you, your humor AND your southern twang.

Here is me, Larissa, and Jenni with her little guy Chase. I visit taught Jenni this past year and dog-sat her cute dog River.

Here is me and "the new gal" Cheris - she is SOOO much fun. I wish I had more time with you, Cheris!


Here I am in the middle. I jumped in between these two Beauties. On the left is Rachael and on my right is Nichole. Rachael has been friends with Mark since the Academy and it has been SO much fun getting to know her, Dan, and Macy!

Here's me with Mary-Ann, holding Cameron (my neighbor's newborn) and Beth! Beth and I served a bit in primary together, and she has one amAZing voice and is SO sweet. Beth it was too shortlived!

Here is me with the guest of honor! Me with Valancy (Val). She was my visiting teaching companion all year and taught me so much.

Half of the group: starting from left is me, Angela below me, Cheris, Nichole holding Adalyn, and Crista (Ady's mom).

Today after primary, I we snapped this picture. Sorry about the 'over-exposed look', I had it on the wrong camera setting still. This is me, 1st counselor, Jessica S., 2nd Counselor, and the woman with the power, Kathryn (Primay Pres.) I'll miss these two tremendously. What great women!!

Here is Kathryn's husband, Trigger (yes! like the famous horse, though he made it clear, he was not named FOR/after the horse), and his son Trigger (the junior). Trigg junior is 6 years old and just read the Book of Mormon in TWO months! He wanted to be sure he was beating me and Mark every Sunday so he'd come up and poke us and ask, "Where are you in the Book of Mormon?" He's a wonderful little kid.

And because we love their kids SO much. Here is one with Mark and I with Trigger and Victoria. Trigger taught me how to teach Settlers of Catan and wanted me to play it every week with him thereafter.
