Time to Say Goodbye (but not forever!)

B and I have been so blessed to know and develop a deep friendship with Bek and Dion Allen. We all met at the same time (just over seven years ago), and have been best friends ever since. We've watched each other get engaged, gone to each other's weddings (and have some great bridesmaid/groomsmen photos to boot!), played soccer/watched our men play soccer every Saturday during summer, and engaged in too many Killer Bunny and Risk games to count.

And today we said goodbye as our two bestest friends flew out of the country and into 12 months work at VANA, Zimbabwe.

(You can read more about VANA if you go to the website located on the right hand side of my blog).

Listening to Peter's last minute advice


Kyndral made an appearance too


I think Dion might have considered infant smuggling at this point


Andrew and Nic said goodbye too (all the while making sure their daughter wasn't being taken as carry on luggage!)


Peter shares scripture and a prayer with the departing couple


And then it was time to say goodbye.

Dion, as always, has to add his own 'special blend' to photos. Not unlike his best mate, come to think of it.


Bek: Can I take her with me?
Sasch: I'm in! Don't think QANTAS will like it though...





Goodbye guys - we promise weekly emails, treats in the mail, decent phonecalls and Cape Town in October! It's a date!
