so long, farewell!

Today is our last day in Kansas City! I said goodbye to some incredible friends and it was pretty emotional. I got some very sweet gifts that I will treasure while I'm in Africa... thanks Jen, Sarah, Daniel, Jonah and Lydia! My sister got me an amazing gift; it is so special. Thanks, Laura!!! I love you baby sis! My parents and Jon's parents have really taken care of us this past month. I'm gonna miss 'em... it's too bad we have such great families... makes it harder to say bye-bye!

On a side note, Jon cut his hair and shaved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like a stranger just walked in. It looks awesome.

Well, if I didn't get to say bye to anyone....'bye.' I won't forget you! I'll try to keep this blog updated and if you write me a letter, I can guarantee I'll write back.

BYE GUYS! I'm out!
