Texas-Sized Going Away Party...



The Betti (Shawn & Sara), The Macdonalds (Loren & Joy), The Lyons (Josh & Amy), and The Slaughters (Ryan & Natalie) threw us an awesome going away party this weekend. They sent out an invitation to all of our Texas friends and decorated up the Alcove at church. They even had a Texas flag cake, a couple of bails of hay, and these sweet Bluebonnet/Bandana centerpieces. Sweet. Shawn put together a slideshow of pictures of us in Texas over the years (Shatrine has been here 11 years now!!! My 5 years pales in comparison).


So all of our friends showed up from all of our little circles. It was fun to see our dog friends, my school friends, old-school Shepherd & Wisdomworks friends, IBC friends all in one place. It's amazing the relationships and bonds you form.


Shatrine made these cute little candy bar wrappers and put them around Hershey bars. So if you came to the party, you got this candy bar on your table with a little cartoon likeness of us, and it was a fun way to break the news to some that we are expecting. Good times.


Well, if I can convince Shatrine (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge), maybe she'll post some pictures from the night.
