Goodbye BHLB

Today is my second to last day of work. It is so strange. My coworker took me out to lunch today and gave me a few little gifts and a really nice card. I'm going to miss her a lot, but this job.. well I'm looking forward to being done with it. I feel bad for my boss because the girl he hired, who I was supposed to train today, ended up backing out because her previous job offered her a raise so she wouldn't leave. So now hes stuck with no assistant, and even once he finds one they wont have me here to train them in person. Hes asked me to train over the phone, which I said I would do.. but I don't think I'll be much help.

We sold our couch to Donna's friend today. Very sad day. I loved that couch. I had imagined that couch for years and then had it built. I wanted it forever :( We now have a mattress andddd now much else left in our apartment. Boxes, crap to get thrown away, and a little more to pack, but that's it.

We are so looking forward to going (coming?) home, but I think the reason we aren't more sad than we are is because it doesn't feel real yet. At least for me it only feels like we're going home for a visit. Imagining myself being able to call Kristen and hang out with her whenever I want.. doesn't seem possible. Imagining myself sitting on my couch watching TV with my mom.. I just can't. But those are the kinds of things I am most excited to be able to do again. I'm sure it'll feel very normal and we will be very happy, but I also think maybe a small part of me will feel like it belongs here just as much as it belongs at home. I can't even fathom not being able to go to Mitchell and Donna's for dinner. The fact that that used to be normal (not being able to do that) seems so distant to me now. Keira and Kyla are a part of my every day life.. and shouldn't they stay that way?? Too weird.

Also, I learned today that Filene's Basement does a running of the brides in DC on April 29th. Guess where I'll be then??? Even if I don't get my dress then, I have to go. Even if Zach and I aren't technically engaged yet.. I have to go. But we will be, because now that I know what the ring looks like.. I want it :)

So anyways, our plans for our remaining time here... I work again a little tomorrow. We will obviously be spending all of our free time with Mitchell and Donna and the girls. And eating at Noah's bagels and maybe some more Midori sushi to ease the pain of having to say goodbye to those delicious places. Sunday they are having an Oscar party, so we're going to that.. and then we leave early early early Monday morning.

I texted Kristen this morning saying I'd be home in 130-140 hours (and that I knew I was a nerd for saying that). So now that's -7 hours. And even less until we actually say ta-ta to LA.
