Final Farewell

Well...last night was our Goodbye Party at church. Shannon set it all up in the fellowship hall and Josh provided Culver's custard and all the yummy toppings. I couldn't believe how many people were there! It was fun seeing all of our friends, but it hit me late last night that we really are leaving Illinois! Just before the party, there was an all church meeting where we voted in a new pastor, and it was strange knowing we won't be around long enough to get to know him and his family. When we come back to visit, Hope will be a whole new church! I don't have pictures from the party, but if you check out http://www.thenordgrens.blogspot.com/ you can see the pictures that Shannon took.
