On our last day before departure we see our temple in a snow covered scene! It will be a long time before we experience this kind of weather again, so we're trying to enjoy it. We're leaving tomorrow for a hot, humid climate.

What an awesome party we enjoyed last night with most of our family--food, fun, lots of talk and hugs! This is the hard part--leaving such dear ones for so long--but we know we're leaving them in the most capable hands of the Lord.
