Saying Goodbye for Now

My friends Jeremy and Jen Price along with their kids Joshua and Emma Grace leave tomorrow for the States on sabbatical. I'm so excited for them to get some much needed rest and relaxation, but at the same time I'm desperately sad to see them go. Their family has been a stable presence in my life ever since my move to Africa and it's hard to imagine living here without them.

Here are a few things I'll miss . . .

1. Teasing Jeremy for his 'lumberjack' impersonation' . . .

2. Spending time with Joshua and Emma Grace . . .

3. Coffee dates with Jen . . .

4. Brainstorming on our Macs together over coffee . . .

5. Jen teaching me about photography/knitting/cooking/blogging/life . . .

6. Taking trips to Capetown together [it's only happened once so far, but I have hope for future trips] . . .

I know that they'll be back and that this goodbye isn't forever, but that doesn't stop me from getting a little teary eyed.
