my last georgia post

i wanted to say happy birthday to bryce and bryan yesterday. hope it was great and can't wait to see both of you next week. and to wayne last thursday. thanks for not sharing the cake last night. i sure was eyeing it last night. i guess next time i'll have to be more obvious and come right out and ask, since it didn't seem to work the way i went about it. also, thank you tara for having the risse family and ledbetter family over for dinner last night. sure beats ramen noodles. it was delicious. and to mike and misty and fam. we love you and thank you so much for coming all this way to say goodbye. can't wait to see you in november. and to anna. you've sure put a damper on my packing with all these outings we've been having, but it made moving fun, which is pretty hard. i've enjoyed this week a lot. if anyone ever is flying into dfw and need someone to pick them up, give us a call. we'll be there in no time. love you guys.

ian and sarah actually have quite a few friends here. isaac, hannah, naomi, anna, naomi joy, caleb, and elizabeth, you will be greatly missed. hope i didn't leave anyone out. parents included in that list, obviously.

not without my daughter

or something like that sarah. i forgot what you told me to put. anyhow, sorry i've been absent for so long ladies. as i said in my last post, for some reason dean thinks packing is more important than blogging. i can see if we were moving tomorrow morning or something...oh wait...we are. yikes. better make this short and sweet then. i wanted to comment on all the pics but they will have to be self-explanatory. i've been out to eat with friends and family a lot. the ol' "one last outing before the move" that turned into about 5 lasts but i'm enjoying it. so that's what most of these pics are. for those of you in tx, i'll see you in a couple of days. for those of you in georgia... :( i'm really going to miss you. love you guys.
