Saying Goodbye... 10-14-12

On our last Sunday in New Hampshire our dear friends the Noel's hosted a going away party for us so we could say one last goodbye.

Russ and Teresa Noel are two of the kindest most genuine people on this earth. They constantly opened their home to us and always made us feel like part of their family. Teresa came to my house many times to watch my children for me, and she was there for me until the very end, helping me scrub walls after the movers took all our stuff. I love them both so much and am grateful to have been blessed by their friendship.

We spent the evening chatting, eating yummy food, and giving lots of big hugs to our wonderful friends.

It was nice for the kids to say goodbye to their little friends too. 

 I took a ton of pics because I wanted to remember everyone, so I'm just going to post them all because I love these people so much :)

Lovely ladies from my Nashua 1st ward

And these are all families from different wards who we became close with (through the play and girls camp) Some of them had to drive over an hour to come. It really meant a lot to see everyone. 

So many amazing friends! We love them all so much and are grateful that technology allows us to stay in touch so much easier. 

Later that week we had a few more friends drop by to say goodbye.

When Teya met her best friend in preschool, I was introduced to her mom, who became one of my best friends too! The girls were in the same preschool, kindergarten, and first grade class. We love Mia and Laura and their sweet family so so much! Glad they came by to say goodbye one more time. 

Another family very dear to our hearts is the Blanchettes. Teya and Emerson and Brinley and Eliza (all snuggled together on the top row) have been the best of friends since we came to New Hampshire. Jenn has been one of my closest friends as well. There's no way we could've left without one last group hug.
