Saying goodbye...again.... on her way to Arizona

With just four days notice, the time came too fast.... what a gift this month together has been.

So, Monday night, Sadie was set apart (by Roarke as the Stake President had delgated that to him) 

With such an early flight the next morning, we told the kids not to get up, and so they hugged it out, we had family prayer and we went to bed.  (not to sleep, but to bed-- it was really hard to fall asleep)

Tuesday morning, May 5th, Roarke found out he had a patient that couldn't move in his schedule, so this daddy daughter love and send off happened bright and early at home.

 Em came with Sadie and I to the airport for some very sweet sister goodbyes~

It's hard to do a real smile when you are the verge of the "ugly cry"

People kept asking me if it's harder or easier this time.  It's neither. It's just hard- it's very own kind of hard.  But that's okay- we know whose hands she's in and we trust Him!

"Hurrah for Israel"

I hope Mesa Arizona loves you as much as we do ♥
