Friends

On January 25, 2 of our close friend and their boys headed off for a new adventure in Australia. It was so very hard to see them go. We have all grown close over the last year and though it's only been a  year, it seems that when you live in an international community, you grow closer, faster. One of the disadvantages to having friends who are all expats is this very thing. You know that everyone's time here is temporary and even if it isn't, you know that yours is. We all relate to the struggles that come along with moving abroad, the difficulty in finding jobs, raising families, etc. This draws us all closer. So it's hard to say goodbye when someone's time is up here. These dear friends are Americans and will be eventually making their way back to the States but for now it appears they will be hanging out with the kangaroos and koala's in the land down under. We miss you guys! Throw another shrimp on the barbi for us!!!
