And we are off...

We said goodbye to our townhome yesterday morning and headed out to Utah.  Wes is headed to Maine, and we'll see him in about two weeks.  Thanks Hershey for all the memories.

Playing with Papa and Grandma

My parents flew out to help us out with moving and graduation.  Wes is taking off for a two week review course in Maine on Sunday, and the kids and I are driving to Utah with my parents.  I'm so grateful they were willing to fly out to help us.  I wasn't looking forward to doing that drive by myself with three kids.  Charlie and Reese spend a couple of nights with grandma and papa at their hotel, and they were entertained with a last Hershey Chocolate World visit while Wes and I were at graduation.  They had a great time and are looking forward to spending much of the summer with their grandparents before we officially move the Boise in July.

Ortho Graduation

The night is here, finally.  After five long years, Wes is graduating from his ortho residency.  And we are graduating with three other couples who I just love.  It was a great night celebrating these four amazing men with their equally amazing wives.  I'm so proud of Wes and all the hard work, sweat, sleepless nights he's put in and dealing with major frustrations.  Way to go! 

So long, farewell Hershey PA

We had to take some pictures by the Hershey sign.  It's been a great nine years.  I never thought we would be here for that long, but it was a grand adventure.  We got through medical school and residency and brought three beautiful kids into the world.  Plus we made so many great friends, had a great ward we could really serve in, and really made this our first home.  We will miss Hershey.  It truly is the sweetest place on earth.

Saying bye to their first BBF

We said bye to Anna today.  It was pretty sad, but the kids gave her big hugs and we promised them we'd see her again.  Anna's been a good friend to both Charlie and Reese.  She is definitely Charlie's first best friend and we are grateful to her.  It wasn't much fun saying bye to Tammy and Len either.  But I know we will see them again.

Last walk on Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail and Bullfrog Valley Pond

We went on one last walk on the Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail and around Bullfrog Valley Pond.  It was so pretty.  This trail is one of my very favorites.  It's always peaceful and beautiful.  And the kids love visiting the pond and throwing rocks into the water.

Last visit to Daddy's hospital

We met Wes for lunch and for one last visit to the Hershey Medical Center.
