Saying bye

Good bye's are too hard to say. Lucky we can say "See you next year"! Even that can be emotional. We've said bye to Nadim's family, non of whom are in Ottawa, and to my sister and her family who are in Toronto. I've said bye to my co-workers and Nadim will be saying bye to his next weekend at a BBQ.

We had a really nice time last weekend. We had invited some friends and neighbours for a dessert party. It was a bit last minute so not everyone could make it, but those that are particularly close to us showed up and it was such a relaxed and fun time that we'll be sure to take those memories with us. We also invited Krista and Pat, the couple who will take over our house while we're gone. It was a great chance for them to meet their new neighbours.

Next week it is Yasmin and Roya's birthday so we will be having a sleep over with some of the friends. It will give them some nice memories to hold onto as well. We've also got a BBQ with friends from Nadim's work. That will be held on Saturday and on Sunday we have dinner at my sister's house. Time is running very short now. Before you know it we'll be on our way.
