goodbye ryan.

last night we had a little get together to send ryan off.

in just a couple days he leaves for africa for 8 months!

so we ate, drank {water}, and played games one last time.

chicken parmesan was delicious.

playing 4 on a couch?  wonderful.

{except we played boys v. girls and we lost.  how did that happen!?  we so had it and made one bad mistake and POOF! they win. lame}

but the company?  the best. ever.

i just love this group of people that the Lord has placed in my life.

we can't wait to hear about how the Lord uses this trip to bless Africans, and also bless Ryan in the process.

here's to AFRICA!

{the whole gang}

{silly faces}

{all the ladies}

{gosh.  we're cute}
