A Reno Farewell

How to say goodbye to such a great a great group of friends, a great house, and good job?!  The closer it got, the harder it got.  We found our selves wrapped up in a swirl of emotions.  A mix between excitement and unease.  "Wooohooo!", "What are we thinking!", and "It's really happening!" were common shared phrases the last few days before leaving.

After months of talking about this great road venture in a mythical VW bus...we had finally made the decision.  We squirreled our pennies away, bought a bus, and began to start making our dream a reality.  Little did we know it would be such a challenge to leave Reno, our home for the last 4 1/2 years.  Perhaps easier to leave knowing we would be back for a visit in 6 weeks. 

On February 2nd a couple days post our planned departure (took a couple days longer to pack than we thought!), we departed....set sails and were adrift with no plans to set anchor for quite some time.

One evening before we left, we enjoyed a Reno sunset with our good friend Amy in the hills.  She captured some great shots.  Here photography is incredible!  She has captured so many events in the lives of our friends.  Check out her blog here: http://www.amyleistphoto.com/blog/blog/
