So long, farewell...

To set the mood for this blog post, please start singing this Michael W. Smith song:
"And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends"
So now that we got that settled, tonight we had to say goodbye to some friends who were here for only a year but who will always remain a part of our lives. We are sad that they are leaving the Lou but know that the Windy City will be a better place because of them living there (no pressure or anything). Here are some KG pictures from tonight (sorry Matt and Kelli, we really wanted you here for the pics, we were going to do cardboard cut outs but we just didn't have a printer big enough).
