Perhaps the best thing about departing a wonderful community of friends is the opportunity to spend lots of quality time with them before leaving.
For instance, last Friday I went to Alex's house since our significant others were gone...and we had our own personal Gamefest. Fun evening - to say the least - because we were joined by our good friend Mr Cuervo soon after dinner.
The following evening, Saturday, we spent a few hours at a reception for a newly-wed couple from our small group. Most of our small group was there some whom we hadn't seen in nearly a month.
Sunday we had turn down a lunch offer (rescheduled to Saturday) so we could work on financial planning at the nearby Panera on the T42. :) Decisions made regarding health insurance, cash flow, retirement benefits, etc.
Sunday evening we had a great dinner with Rob & Eleanor at Las Tapas in Old Town Alexandria! Yummmmmmyyyyy!
Leaving friends is the worst part about moving for school...but hopefully the trip to Napa with some or all of the above will work out! :)
