Tonight we had a party . . .ish . . . and Mandy couldn't hug Geoff. She arrived in her cute sister missionary clothes ready to serve in San Fernando, and we girls had to give her enough hugs to make up for the lack in the male department.It's so weird that Mandy is leaving and that in a couple of months Whitney will be coming home, but my favorite thing about tonight was having everyone together again. Between tonight and the party at Jonathan and Sebastian's new place last night, I keep remembering how much I love my friends. It's amazing how the extra effort we now have to make to be together takes away all of the frustration of the closed circuit we had seemed to become last year. I feel very blessed to have such an amazing circle of people whom I love and with whom I feel completely comfortable being my ridiculous, cheesy self. I forgot how much I miss living with Lili and in general how much I love it when we are all laughing and throwing around pirate hats and making Mandy sandwiches. I am excited to meet new people, but no one will replace these kids.
Here are some pictures that demonstrate why I love them all so much:
