Goodbye Friends



We first met Stephanie and Ryan at church one morning. We had just decided to start attending our church, and during our 5-min. break between the music and the message, they introduced themselves. Then, after the service was over they said, "Hey, we're having a Christmas party tonight if you want to come." And we did. And we hit it off right away. We got asked all evening, "how do you know Stephanie and Ryan?" and I got to say, "we don't really! we met them this morning!" It was really fun! They quickly became great friends. We had a lot in common, but as it turns out, they had applied to the peace corps a year or so before, and were waiting to find out what country they might be going to. So, quite excitedly, and also quite sadly, we said goodbye to them recently as they headed out for a two year stint in Mongolia. Yes, Mongolia :). Even though we hadn't known them too long, we became good friends fast, and we will miss them tremendously. Good Luck friends. We will miss you, but are excited for what is ahead! Keep in touch!
