'People come into our lives and walk with us a mile...' Ok, not really, none of that rubbish. But we are going to miss Jonathan and Sarah more than I can say. They were the only people I had when I moved here, and they've taught us so much in the time we've known them. They'll still be here until May, but I miss them already.

But on the other hand, God has perfect timing. He's given me, I'd say, at least two really good (local) friends (by the names of Jenny and Jamie) in the time I've lived here, who both mean so much to me in different ways. And I think I'm in the process of making more. So while the Hayses may be off to seek new adventures in the distant land of Utah, I'm grateful to have other friends already lined up. And we'll still have the magnificent Bryce and Ashley for possibly quite a while longer, so it will be no clean break from the Edinburgh crowd, and for this I am also thankful.

I don't know where this is leading so I'll just finish by saying I've had a good weekend, with people from work and with Alasha (who was a team member on my Scotland TMI team) and her sister Mae and especially with my husband who spent the day with me just being my best friend.

Eh, the end.
