Adios Espana

Well, we're officially gone from Spain. It was very hard to say goodbye to the wonderful friends we have made. We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for the friendships we've made and the amazing people we've met. We will especially miss our wonderful friends (really family) John, Maria, Johnny and Alba. I honestly don't know what we would have done without them in Spain. We hope hope hope they will come visit us soon and maybe even move here one of these days! Before we left our incredible ward threw us a going away party. Maria was behind a lot of it and they truly made us feel loved. So many people showed up! They gave us 3 presents to say goodbye.

Here I am with adorable little Alba. I'm going to miss this girl so much!

Me and Mike with Maria. We love you!

The ward was so wonderful to put this together for us. Not only did they throw us a party but they actually gave us some going away gifts. The first was a beautiful framed copy of the Proclamation to the Family in Spanish. Next to the Proclamation was a beautiful picture of our family. It was amazing!

The Relief Society also made me my own going away gift. They made a book with pictures of all the families in the ward and a written note to our family next to the picture. It is so beautiful and I will always treasure it.

The Priesthood gave Mike a gift as well. They gave him a beautiful pen set with his name and Dos Hermanas engraved on it. What wonderful people!

We had so much fun hanging out with everyone. Jay and Johnny had a great time together. I don't know what they'll do without each other :( Jay looks up to Johnny so much.

We will miss you more than you know! Thank you to all for the wonderful support you provided us. You will forever be in our hearts. This isn't goodbye, only hasta luego.  Thank you and we love you!!!!!!!!!
