So...It's The End?

October 27, 2014

So this is my mood as of this morning.. 

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside the door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, the assistants are waiting, blowing the horn.
Already I miss this place so much, I could die. 
So praise the Lord  and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, Bama, I hate to go.

Every place I go I'll think of you, every song I sing I'll sing for you,
when I come back, I'll bring my family 
So praise the Lord and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, Bama, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me serve you,
then close your eyes, I'll be flying home.
Dream about the days to come when I won't come back alone,
about the times I won't have to say:

So praise the Lord and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, Bama, I hate to go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, Bama, I hate to go.

So i did my own little version of that song but it's so true. I am going to really miss this place. It's the whole you never know what you have until it's gone. But I have loved my time here and I am so grateful for the things I have been able to accomplish and I am even more grateful for the people that I have been able to meet. They have changed my life in so many ways and I will be forever grateful for them. I know I was called here to meet certain people so we could help each other come closer to the Savior and to our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father sending me here.  He knew exactly what He was doing. Without this place I would have never learned what the Atonement really means to me and who my Savior and Heavenly Father are. I now know that Heavenly Father really does have a plan for each and everyone of us. He knows the path that we are going to need to walk to make it back to Him. I guess mine had to do with Alabama and Tennessee :) I don't think I can put into words how grateful I am for the opportunity that I have been given and for the love that I have felt from this place. 

Anyways I love y'all so much and I am so excited to see y'all! 

Love, Sister Denning

Callie will be returning home from Birmingham this Thursday, October 30 at 1:04 p.m.  We'll all be standing at the bottom of the escalators at the Delta side of the baggage area waiting impatiently.  You're welcome to join with us while we do a little hugging and crying all in one.  We're also having an open house on Saturday evening from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. We would love to have you drop by as well to say hi!
