Our time in New Jersey has been so awesome. We were able to spend so much time with
family, and connect with so many friends while we were here. Last night was really hard though. It was our last night and our final family
dinner. In addition to sharing laughs,
many tears were shared as well. Saying
goodbye to all of our friends was hard enough, giving my grandparents and
godmother final hugs and kisses was awful.
I can’t imagine how emotional I’m going to be in just a few minutes when
I say goodbye to my mom and brother (and Boots!).
But this is it, our final goodbyes! And now the trip really
begins! It’s definitely mixed emotions,
because I’m ecstatic for our trip and so excited for what the next few months
will bring, but at the same time, so sad to be saying goodbye. We’re officially leaving for California
today! Let the road trip adventures
begin! First stop: Wake Forest in North
Carolina to visit John’s best friend Matt.
We’ll be there approximately eight hours after we embark (but we need to
re-pack the car first!)
Really delicious food for dinner - John's favorite, Yiayia's Pasticcio on the left, a delicious chicken and crunchy broccoli casserole cooked by my mom! (I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of my plate)
Our delicious desserts - crumb cake, red velvet cupcakes, and delicious chocolate treats.
Esther, Howard, and Nicole (our neighbors and very close friends), joined us for dessert!
All of us around the table.
Boots didn't want to be left out, haha
And because I am going to miss him more than anything and can't wait until we have jobs and are settled so I can pick him up, here are some pics that I have taken of Boots over the last few days. He's too cute for words <3
