As I squeeze the last thing into my backpack (hoping it weighs less than 40 lbs!) and say goodbye to many friends and family, I want to share some photos of my last month in the states. Now, it’s been the big joke that I’ve had about 17 different farewell parties…someone even coined it my “Farewell Tour”. I didn’t keep track of the number, but I have definitely felt the LOVE from all the people in my life! Thank you to those who have celebrated with me and made me feel so special!
 
Here’s a glimpse of just some of the festivities of my “Farewell Tour”.
