The last few weeks have been full of farewells. It has honestly been harder than expected to say goodbye to family & friends. I knew giving up Newton would be rough, but I figured the rest would be ok because I knew I'd be able to communicate with them in some manner. Newton was hardest, but the rest turned out to be pretty hard, too. It's amazing to find out how much people like you when you leave! Anyway, I had some amazing surprises, dinners, gifts, & get togethers. Thanks everyone! Here's some random pictures of some of those moments.
