The good and bad thing about leaving..

I just wanted to share my fabulous weekend with everyone.

The good thing about leaving the country is that it makes me want to see as many people as possible before the big departure. The bad thing about leaving is being reminded how much you love hanging out with said people and realizing how much you will miss them all.

This weekend was full of laughs, love and LOTS of friends.

Friday I drove into Toronto to meet up with Jay (who just got back from Korea about 2 weeks ago) and Mike and Allison. I was suppose to meet up with Jay at a Mississauga bus station but apparently the Grey hound does not go to Mississauga, so me and Alli went to union station to pick him up instead. We picked the BEST possible day to drive around downtown. (notice the sarcastic tone) There was this HUGE demonstration going on ALL around the city and they ended up closing down a lot of streets because of it. while I was waiting for jay to come to the car some people actually surrounded me and starting yelling.. to say the least I wanted to get out of there. A little later me and Alli dragged Jay to the Eaton Centre and made him go shopping with us. poor little guy.. but we did take him to a couple boy stores to cheer him up.

I was asked to be in Mike and Allison's wedding party this summer, which I plan on flying back for. The fun part is that I am going to be on Mikes side. Allison and I were talking about what I would wear... and I might be able to wear a SUIT!! yeah yeah!! i get to be a groomsmen.. or i guess it would be grooms woman! amazing!! so I plan on getting a custom made suit made for myself in Iteawon. So excited!

Later that day we met up with mike and had a drink, then went walking down queen street for a bit where we went into some shops. It was there that i found a 20 dollar brand name bikini! SCORE! (not that your at all interested but it made me excited at the time)
For the rest of the night we hung out played games and enjoyed each others company. I love those nights when you laugh so hard your stomach muscles hurt. I hadn't had one of those in a while and it was much needed. I also love the feeling of total comfort that you only have with certain people. Wearing whatever, saying whatever, doing whatever you know that they will always love you and never judge you.

The next day, I met up with my friend Alescia who was someone I used to work with back in Blacks days. We hung out a lot back than and stayed in touch as much as possible throughout the years. She is one of the most amazing people I know, and has decided to be a midwife. Every time I see her or hang out with her I feel truly inspired and empowered as a woman. Shes awesome! We hung out and caught up and I will for sure see her again before I leave. This is what I tend to do, either reconnect with old friends right before I leave on another one of my adventures or start a relationship. I have done this so many times that it doesnt even surprise me anymore. Oh of course I would start a relationship right before Im leaving the country. Or of course I would remember how much I loved my old friend right before I leave. Im crazy!

Today I got to go to a super bowl party. Now, I have no real interest in football nor did i even know what teams were playing.. but i DO enjoy a good get together and there were lots of people going who I love hanging out with. It was such a GREAT time!! It is almost annoying how much fun I had tonight. I say annoying because I am leaving.. and I reminded myself how much fun my friends are. University was one of the best times of my life and I truly believe I left with the best bunch of friends possible. Every time I get to hang out with them, I wonder why I don't do it more.

This weekend ended with a GREAT feeling. I was so happy to hang out with three totally different group of people. All with different lives, different ideas and different goals. I am so lucky to have such a diverse group of friends who are all special in their own way. I love you ALL so much and will miss you like crazy!!

Where ever I decide to live, what ever I decide to do these are the important relationships in my life.. These are the ones that will last..

Oh PS.. I cant wait till my BiRFday weekend!! Next Saturday is going to be FABULOUS! MoD Club see ya there!
