In the coming days, my dear friends Brett and Marianne will be departing to their new home in France with their daughter Raven, the "yet to be titled" unborn child, and two very sweet dogs, Bean and Tofu.Needless to say, I am bummed.
Years ago, we would laugh in our living room and toast our proclamations that we would be able to hang out at a moments notice because seeking a babysitter would never be an issue for either couple.
Well, I think it is clear how this played out in the coming months.
But now that our circle of friends has turned into Kids R Us marketing dream come true, we have grown accustomed to this new stage of our lives as well. (We love our friend's kids equally but I just wished Ella and Lola would smile a bit more for me. These twins are two tough cookies.)
The parting is a bit sweeter since we will be able to see each other after they depart next week thanks to a piece of software on every new Mac.
iChat will allow us to communicate via videoconference with our ex-pat friends.
So I will not say good bye to my buds, but rather sign off by saying, "Vous voir plus tard iChat " (see you later on iChat!)
The future, ahhhhh, can be a beautiful place to live.
