the first goodbye

life is so strange the way it works out sometimes. i am on my second to last day of work and i have been feeling very sad about leaving all day. my job is boring but it pays well and i love the people i work with. and i am really going to miss them all. who would have ever thought i would feel like this about leaving 6 months ago? they always say everything happens for a reason, and if this past year and a half is anything to go by, it must be true. we have been waiting for jon's visa to come through for so long and now it's finally here, and we are both feeling sad to leave. perhaps we were meant to be stuck so we could prove to ourselves we could be happy here. don't get me wrong. we are both behind our decision to leave 100% but that doesn't mean we will not miss it here terribly:( weird how it can be the right thing to do but still not easy, huh? and weird how that is the case for so much of life. the right decision never seems to be the easy decision, but the universe has a way of proving it is the best decision in the end.
