Admission: Today marked the first day of one of the biggest life-changing and exciting months in my life thusfar. It was my last day at Urban, which was sort of anti-climatic and sudden feeling, over before it began it seemed. I rushed to Anthro to get some more pretty things for my new to-be apartment and some wedding gifts, and then rushed home to meet Diondra. We went to the grocery store and did all the prep for my farewell get together I decided to throw sort of last minute. I've been meaning to use our deck all summer for a dinner party and it seemed like now was a good of time as any considering its one of my last nights here as my home! Diondra, Laura, Kendra, Veronica, Kelly, Branche, Andrew and Noah all made it out; it was the best assortment of people, friends from all walks of life--childhood, high school, college, post-grad work-- it was so wonderful to have them all there, for all of them to meet one another, to see them all in Fallbrook before I say goodbye. Besides just talking and drinking I decided to construct a sort of makeshift photo booth with props for us to play with, which turned out to be hilarious. My stomach hurt from laughing by the end of it. We moved inside and started playing other games, and eventually people slowly started to either fall asleep or head home, and it ended with me in my PJS talking to Andrew and Noah at my kitchen table. Finally we said our last goodbyes and it struck me by how emotional I got; I feel like I haven't had ENOUGH time with these people. I guess I'm just so thankful everything that's happened this year led me to meet who I've met, and I'm confident the friendships I've made will last and last. Tonight was sort of living proof of that.
