Goodbye Durham

My mom was adorable and switched her flight to stay longer and help us get things ready for move. It was extra special that she was with us over Mother's Day.

And we couldn't let her leave NC without trying chicken and waffles. We converted her to this strange delicacy.

 And Cook Out being built like 2 minutes from our house meant we went more than we should admit...We'll miss you, hush-puppies.

But mainly my mom was a huge help in making me finally go through stuff, throw away, organize, etc to get everything ready to go. We always love it when grandma comes!

We said bye to our ward. Our Durham ward was pretty much a student ward, filled with Duke law, medical, and business school students. We loved it and I especially loved (ok, it may have stressed me out sometimes) my calling as primary chorister. I'll miss those cute little rascals and making a fool out of myself each week. I can do a mean opera singer ;)

Then the movers came and packed us up. Can I just say how awesome it is to not have to move yourself, especially in the heat of NC? Thank you Microsoft. And Paige still talks about our "moving and packing friends", since she chatted it up with all of them. It was a crazy couple of days for these kiddos, resulting in Deacon bawling on the floor and Paige passing out in a closet. 

Then we had a few last game nights and some very teary goodbyes with friends. And like that, we bid a fond farewell to our little Durham town home. Real job, we're coming for you!
