Movers Are Here

Currently on a smoke break but here none the less. They are packing up all the little odds and ends we brought with us which actually amount to a lot of stuff. Last night the kids and I went over to our friends in Hathersage. We all had a lot of fun. We will miss them a lot. Lady Jane's best friend and her played the whole time. It really is amazing how things changed over one year. The friendships offered at the beginning of our time here didn't all last. The friends that developed because of common bonds (new to the school, kids are friends) are the ones that I'll miss. There are certain people, I've found, that I click with as friends. Others may be acquantances or even friends, but they don't quite reach that "this is someone I want to talk to for the rest of my life." Some people make friends with everyone they meet and try to maintain some kind of contact. I'm not that type of person. I don't know if it's genetically hardwired that way or it's from being ostrasized on playgrounds at a young age. Point to all this? I've made some friends that I will definitely miss and some that will just be a fond memory.

The friends we were with last night are the kind that I will try to stay in touch with, the best that I can which isn't always the greatest. With e-mail things are a little more easy. I need to get a few more e-mail addresses. This really is an insane week for us, but we're making it work. Phil's a bit of a worry wart (understatement of the year, folks). We just need to make it to Saturday, then everyone will be happy again.
