#OneLastTime

Some moments, some movies, some series finales need to be shared by us Four. Many of those moments are special memories I cherish and recollect with pleasure.  

Finishing Buffy Season 7 right:  

Marathoning Angel the day before New Years to finally conclude that perfect last season together. "Let's go to work."

Enjoying the lovely experience of Toy Story 3 altogether. The movies which we had loved and enjoyed as children were now finishing up their story when we were adults. In some senses, it felt like that could been me as Andy saying good-bye to his childhood and moving on to adulthood: 

Was there anybody not crying during this scene? 

Finishing off the years and years and years of Harry Potter books, movies, and discussions with Philip: 

Completing the Lord of the Rings series and watching through ALL the credits in that final film:

Which brings us to the most recent #onelasttime. Unlike others which we looked forward to, planned for, and deeply enjoyed, no one looked forward to or enjoyed The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Uggg, so awful. If we had not been there for each other during that two and half hour monstrosity, we would not have made it through. So. So. So. Awful. We did our duty and finished it off, #onelasttime. While some of the other #onelasttime have been revisited while fondly remembering that first finish, this one will never happen again.

The People You Meet

Moving away from home, I wondered who I would meet and who would become friends. Where would I meet someone? What would my future look like with those people?

Today, I'm spending the day with various people that I met in my move to the North a year and a half ago.

I started the morning with a late brunch at Wendy's. We are celebrating Katie's engagement and the bet we placed on when she would be married.

Currently, we are spending the afternoon getting pedicures. This was the prize for winning the bet--I guessed too far out--but we are all getting pedicures.

This evening, I'm heading to a performance of Nutcracker with another friend. Dinner and then a show. I've been looking forward to it all week.

A whole day spent with different people I've met from my move North. A day completely ignoring all of my work. A day enjoying the great times in December with new friends.
