The night before we left.....

.....a party happened. It didn't start out as a party. A few friends and family dropping by to say good-bye turned into lots and lots of people. We had a great time seeing everybody and getting to visit. Even though Brad and I spent most of the evening in the back packing boxes and bags, lots of people came back to keep us company! It was so fun! (you can also see that I got my Christmas tree up so when we get back in December, I won't have to do it!)
