Saying Good-Bye

As our time here comes to an end, I can't help but reflect over the past two years and be somewhat nostalgic.  I am so thankful for our time living over here in England.  We have seen some amazing places and done some amazing things and we were blessed with our little Anna.  So much to be thankful for that it's hard to sum it all up.  I wouldn't trade this experience for anything and feel that Dave and I have grown so much stronger as a couple and now as a family.  England will forever hold a very special place in our hearts and will always be the birthplace of Anna.

The fellow expats threw us a going-away party this past weekend at our favorite pub/restaurant - The Bull's Head.  The Schetzel's, the Frey's, the Seppanen's, the Hillstrom's, Glenn Kiser and the Henkle's all made it out!  I am so thankful for the friendships made and the support they provided us while we were here.  With our families and friends so far away, they stepped in and were like family to us.  As we move to the next chapter of our lives, we can't help but be excited for what is in store! 

Here are some pics from the party!

Anna, hanging out!

Dave's calzone!  It was huge!

And no meal would be complete without dessert!  Gelato anyone!?

Thank you again to all of our expat friends who supported us along the way!  We are thankful for all of the friendships and memories made while in England!  

USA - here we come!
