I can't believe I am about to get on a plane to go back to America! This morning we came to the airport expecting for Connor and me to get on a 1300 flight, but the plane was grounded due to mechanical problems. So, now Scott is hanging out with us until 1900 to make sure we get on the plane. Over the past three years there have been times I thought this day could not come soon enough, but now that it is here, I am a little sad. I will miss friends and friends who have become family.
The past weeks have been full of farewell dinners and a baby shower. We are so blessed to be undeservedly loved by friends here. Here are a few shots from the baby shower...
4 preggers all in a row.

CDC ladies
I only hope CJ is as cute at little MJ. Her smile will totally melt your heart!
And here is a picture I stole from Julia's blog. This was over the summer after we were coming home from Tokyo Disney. Words can't describe the way Julia, Mark, Scott and I got close (literally) during that train ride. Nor are words adequate to describe the horror that I felt when Mark and Scott started singing Christmas carols as they shared Scott's iPod during the same train ride. I wouldn't trade the memories with those three for anything!

Looking back over our three years, we have been so blessed. I will never forget the way Chad and Kenalea loved us through hard times, adventures with Paul, Erin, Dreaka, and Cora in the Town Ace Royal Lounge (I really wish I had a picture of that van!!), the ladies from the CDC who kept me going when I thought I would pull my hair out over work, and too many friends to name from our unit who are like family. We will miss you guys so much, but the beauty of the Army is that we will most likely see you again in the future.
