So much has been happening. I've been working night shifts, so the holidays were basically a blur. Fun, but over too quickly. Then, it was back to work and wedding prep in lieu of my best friend's wedding on Jan. 2, 2010. It was such a magical, sacred affair, yet also very bittersweet for many involved. See, Sarah Jane will be moving to the midwest where her husband's job is. For me, this is a huge change as she lived about 1/4 mile from my apartment and we spent over an entire year commuting to school, watching movies, romping around the West Shore, cooking, eating, talking, investigating, loving, and growing in friendship. Now, I must somehow find a way to adjust to her absence as I go about my days. And I'm really feeling alone lately...nothing's quite as enjoyable or fun without a companion. She was the "Anne" to my "Diana" as we often commented on and giggled about. Even if we didn't hang out every day, she was always right around the corner - a call away - and I knew it. And just knowing it was a comfort to me.
To Sarah Jane I owe my love of One Good Woman, loose leaf tea, sauteed sprouts, Dark Crystal, Cable Guy, The Ringer, CornerStone Coffee House, Boston Terriers, VS undies, Ho Wahs, Thai Palace, homemade Chai, and so many other life-changing wonders. She welcomed me with open arms to the West Shore. It's because of her I don't want to live anywhere else.
I couldn't be happier for Sarah Jane and Praveen. They're the most beautiful couple and a love them dearly. I'll hold onto the hope that they'll come back to Central PA someday and I won't pine for her company any more. :-)
In the mean time:
*~Farewell, my beloved friend...my heart will be ever faithful to thee. ~*
