Bittersweet

Saturday night we all gathered to have one last dinner with Lee before he deploys for Afghanistan next week. We have all had such a wonderful year getting to know Lee better and hanging out on countless occasions. He, Kristen and the kids have truly become part of our family. Our kids share birthdays and we are Lindsey's godparents along with the fact that they are just truly wonderful friends who we are grateful to have met. We don't want to see him go and we don't want them to move when he returns so the whole scenario really stinks and that is putting it nicely.
Lee chose Ruby Tuesday for his farewell dinner and we all had a great time laughing and talking.

Jen and Rod were also preparing for a very special occasion as Jen got induced on Sunday morning and they welcomed Noelle Amelia Voss into their family. You would have never known that Jen was almost 2 weeks overdue as she sad there as if nothing MAJOR was going to happen in her life in a few short hours.

My two favorite army wives!

The farewell gang!

Kristen was ready to party the night away and she was so fun! Unfortunately, I was still fighting off a cold and didn't party to my full potential.

We did get in a few games of shuffle board at Joe's though and that was fun!

We really didn't plan to color coordinate again, but we do look good together!
