adios...

first, thank you TONS to sandy for sharing pictures of the party last night! i forgot the camera, even though it was pretty much first on my list... ah, blame it on the hormones. anyway, we are so fortunate to have made some very wonderful friends down here, who were kind enough to have a little goodbye potluck! the pictures on the cake were courtesy of the renteria family... SO cute!
kelvin and cole with cory and kyla.

we enjoyed spending some time with the people we meet with, and sandy sent more photos, but i've only got time for a small post... one guess as to why, lol! kelvin was getting a major guilt-trip from the smit boys- they told him that if he would get a job working for their dad, we wouldn't have to move, and we could stay here. that's about the cutest thing we've heard! we are really going to miss everyone- they've become almost like family. it's harder leaving here, because when we left home, we knew that it was only temporary and that we'd be coming back eventually... it's not that way this time around. we won't be moving back in a little while, so the goodbyes are a bit more definite; but, we have people to come visit someday. so, while we're really anxious to get back home, we're dreading saying farewell to everyone down here... arizona friends, we love you and will really miss you!!!
