..Abbey takes NY..: Farewelling

SO MY FAREWELL IS OVER.

What the crap?
Did that really just happen? I feel like I should be stressing about writing my talk right now.. thats what I have been doing the past 4 months. HAHA
My farewell had been on my mind from the moment I started thinking about a mission. I had been dreading it since day one. and what the heck did I really already give my talk and its over?

Let me just say a few things about yesterday.

Well I had 8 pages of talk to read. DIDNT READ ONE. and thats what happens when the spirit takes over. (such an AMAZING feeling)

There were close to 600 people in the congregation. AH. (My farewell, a baby blessing, AND a homecoming.)

I have never been so terrified in my whole life

I somehow managed to speak for a whole year up there.. (30 minutes to be exact)

I unexpectedly cried multiple times in my talk and was so stressed that I had an ugly crying face..

I don't think I have ever heard such loud laughter in my life except for when I talked about how
Kylee won't be getting married. haha (still laughing at that slam)

I think I just might have said Um one too many times.. HA why me..

We served just over 500 pieces of HOMEMADE pizza. (we made it the night before with the help of my favorite people on earth, Evan and Heather Moss)

My house was literally an oven cooking at about 400 degrees with 400 human bodies inside

I wonder how many more bodies we could have squeezed in my dang house.

I think I said Thank You SO much, about 9,000 times yesterday.

AAAaaaand I know that my heavenly father loves me.

OH AND I LEAVE IN 9 DAYS SO WOAH

This is my Lovely bestie Baylee Snow

She'll probs be married when I return :(

AND here are some embarrassing pics of me as I sat waiting with a heart pounding and a mind racing, to stand up and speak in front of a giant blur of humans staring at me.

(You are allowed to laugh)
