A Night as a Southern Belle

Texans are crazy, fun people! The weekend following my return from Ecuador, several families near and dear to our hearts threw a goodbye party for us. Many tears were shed, but I think the majority of those tears were accompanied by hilarious laughter rather than sorrow. Hilarious songs, skits, and poetry were displayed by many. Sweet words and songs were spoken, as well. With each performance, our family was touched by the reminder of the amazing people that have surrounded us for so many years. Although we look forward to meeting many new friends in Georgia, we will dearly miss our precious Texans. I only have a few pictures to share. Before I do, however, an explanation is required. In the invitation the attendees were told to dress Texan. We, on the other hand, were told to dress Georgian. We opted to go Southern Belle and Southern Gentlemen, renting costumes from a local shop. Here are a few pictures from the night of the party. Thanks again to all our dear, Texan friends! We will miss you dearly.
