Saying Goodbye (Part One)

This past week was the beginning of our goodbyes.  Monday we went to Starkville to have dinner with John's family.  We also drove the Mustang down for them to take to Meridian.  We had a great dinner and enjoyed spending time with them.

Thursday was John's last soccer practice with his team.  He has been a part of the TFC 94 boys team since we moved to Tupelo in the summer of 2007.  We have so many good memories with this group.  We have been to tournaments, practices, dinners, parties, etc with this team and have loved every minute of it.  The parents quickly took me in as I sat with them on the sidelines and was still learning the game of soccer.  Below is a picture of the team in the first year (I couldn't find a recent one!).

Friday was John's last day at work.  Throughout the week he has gotten goodbye cards, gifts, and even a few lunches out with his co-workers.  He also went to dinner with his boss on Wednesday night.  North Mississippi Medical Center is a great hospital and John is so glad to have started his career here.

Saturday we went to the State game.  We got to visit with family and friends and see a win from the Bulldogs!

Now, John is in San Diego for a transplant conference.  First step of his new job!  He will be back on Wednesday and then his parents will be here Thursday morning to start the long drive up to Boston.  Can't believe moving day is almost here!
