Saying goodbye to friends in Anderson

After Benny was hired on August 3rd, he drove back to Anderson and we quickly began packing up all of our belongings!  (They wanted him to START his new job by August 15th, so we needed to leave Anderson by the 11th!) We were really glad that  I had already given my two weeks notice at work (BEFORE he went to campus for the interview...crazy, I know).  We were thankful to get some time with people before we had to go.  One of my dear friends from St. Johns- Jacole- who had her little boy Jett about 10 days after Andrew was born and her sister stopped by one afternoon. They brought this AWESOME t-shirt that says "Dad's assistant coach" and is the right color for Bridgewater College!

Andrew and Jett... deep in conversation, I'm sure.

One last get together with our small group (we missed you, Canfields!).  We can't tell you all how much we love you and will miss the your sweet fellowship and sharing yummy meals together.  Andrew loving on his Sara M.

Andrew and Jonah.

Andrew with the Hornings.

Andrew and Matty.  Matty is the soccer player who lived across the street from us.  He spent LOTS of time with us over the past two years, and has such a sweet, special relationship with Andrew.  We really feel like he's part of our family.  We love you so much Matty.

It worked out that the Hanlons were in town from Florida the week we were moving, so they came by with the Daughertys and Canfields to hang out for a bit while we were loading up the UHaul!  How precious are these kids?!  Ian Canfield, Owen Daugherty, Andrew, Briley and Mabry Hanlon, and Aden Daugherty.

Such sweet friends!! 

We're so thankful the Galemas drove up to see us as well.  Such a godly, precious and FUNNY family!!
