Already, on our days off, we phantom-hear the work phone. I'll reach for it, 100% certain I heard its ring tone, and then I remember we're off duty and I don't even have the phone. I imagine that is a mere example of what MUCH of life will feel like when we finish our last shift today.
Last week, our coworkers threw a farewell party for us, and it was so sweet. Literally. Check out the cupcakes!
There was also this snack mix, which was EXCELLENT.
Sarah got a couple of pictures of Ryan and me during gifts...wanna see?
(That last one is a funny story...Rob got us the first season of Little House, and as you can see, Ryan is SUPER EXCITED FOR IT!)
Goodbyes are hard. Yesterday we said goodbye to our church home and our small group. Today we say goodbye to the tenants we've served and the coworkers who have been our extended family these last almost two years.
Hellos are a gift, and we are excited for the ones to come in our new home, new town, and new church. But for today, I hold a needed place for these goodbyes. I hold a grateful heart for the goodness that has come from our time in this place.
When we were married, our final song of our wedding was Find Us Faithful. And that is my prayer for always, especially on this final day. For all of the things we didn't do perfectly, and for all of the things we perhaps would have done differently, may we close this chapter knowing we were faithful with what was entrusted to us and we gave it our very best and our all.

Goodbyes are so hard. Hope today is a meaningful and memorable (in all the good ways!) day.
The look on Ryan's face about the Little House series would also be found on Tom's. Priceless!
