Farewells...

The girls held a going away dinner for us last Wednesday night. Some secret planning happened behind the scenes right in front of my eyes, but it was all brought to life through a number of funny gifts. To try and explain them would be a little hard, but let's just say, they included a Tinkerbell doll (for my belief in the Tinkerbell effect), a promise ring (from my work wife), and a lot of laughs!  Plus a beautiful cake, from Gainesville's best cake designer! 

The weekend before, Matt and I also enjoyed a nice night with the Neely family. Jeff and Kendall made us an amazing dinner (steak, potatoes, and salad - this Irish girl's favorite supper).  We had a little cheating (Traci) over a competitive game of Trivial Pursuit - girls vs. boys.

We had a great time at both of these dinners and will truly going miss the friends we made here in Gainesville!
