Besides papers to be filed and visas to obtain, we also had to say goodbye to our best friends. I took a break from all the move preparations to relax by the ocean with Caitlin and Sarah.
We had so many great talks and silly times! (Like henna tattoos and instant photo boxes)
I am so glad that my best friends enjoy a good drink and great food. There really is nothing more important to plan while you are on vacation.
It is great to say that we are still best friends after +15 years. I will miss you two so much (and you Bekah- we thought about you the whole time)! You better come visit!

4th of July
Sarah and Jason invited us to Annapolis so we broke all previous traditions and decided to try something new. 
The night started with window seats at Aqua Terra providing us with a perfect view of the rather odd 4th of July parade. The highlight was either the jazzercise group or the "bellydance experience" (For women over 50 who have had at least 3 children).
We had a blast!

ESL
Before we became swamped with moving boxes, lists of things to do, and the never ending paperwork involved in leaving the country, we had just started leading an English as a Second Language Program at our church.
We were so blessed to work with amazing teachers who gave so much of their time away to serve those in our community who are still learning English. We loved meeting new friends from all over the world and watching as they were able to express themselves so much better by the end of the semester!
Jesse was able to lead with his teaching skills and I worked behind the scenes to administrate the events. The pictures are of the graduation we just had on Wednesday. We are sad to leave this opportunity which has been such a perfect fit for us.
