Today was a pretty sad one for me. All three of my sweet, sweet roommates left for Tonga this morning. We had a wonderful going away party last night, telling each other countless times how much we love each other. Still I can not fathom that I will not see them tomorrow or the next day, or that we will never all be in this home again. I will remember them forever as my family and as wonderful, warm, big hearted, and hilarious-as friends. For Julie or Dewey (Dooze for short) I will miss cooking the exact same dinner together every night and watching millionaire. For Lena Beana, I will miss her big hugs and her delicious treats. And for Anais, I will miss her wicked story telling skills, in particular about gypsies, candy and spiked objects in pockets. I will miss our pot lucks, our morning snuggling sessions, and of course our hallway story telling. Here's to loving all the people in your life and knowing how to hold on to them. We'll see each other again.
Two more full days in Wellington and the weather is supposed to be the best yet. Today it was warm and sunny and Julien took us all the lyal bay by the airport where we ate lots of fush and chups and sat in the sandy sun. Though a sad beginning, the day turned out to be pretty good. Tomorrow we're going roller blading by the water and doing all those little things we always say we have to do before we leave.
