A Parting Thanks...

Well. True to form, it is 1:30 am, I leave for the airport at 5:30 am, and I am still packing. Those of you who have known me for a while are rolling their eyes at this point. But. Seriously. How do you simultaneously pack and shut down your life for one year and still get to bed by 10:30? You don't--at least I don't. So, this will be brief.

I just want to let you all know how grateful I am for you as friends and family. Aaron and I went to the Temple this morning for one last session before we left. Part-way through the ceremony I was profoundly touched by the thought of how blessed I am. In that moment, it overwhelmed me. I truly feel that a very large part of being blessed is being surrounded and influenced by the amazing individuals that I am, and whom I love very much. This is generic, but I just want to sincerely say thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me. Aaron and I are so excited to go on this crazy adventure, but know that the regular association with all of you will be missed. We will be thinking of and praying for you...

Please keep in touch!!

Much love,

Andi and Aaron

You guys are so great and even for the short time you were here, you both were an incredible example to us. We'll miss you guys, but are excited for you at the same time.

Best wishes!
