I'm playing hooky from work today and heading to Boulder. My cousin's been staying with my parents for the last couple of months, saving up money so she can go re-meet her boyfriend in Europe.
He's Australian, and they're planning on getting married down there. In two months, she'll move "down under" on her "future spouse" visa or whatever it's called, and get ready to get hitched.
I just wish she wasn't moving so far away. I've never had such frank talks about our shared family with anyone besides my mom. Since she moved here, we've finally been talking and really getting to know each other. Now she's moving to the other end of the earth. Sigh.
And dude, I've seen Lost. That's one scary stretch of ocean.
Part of me feels guilty for calling in, but the majority of me doesn't give a shit. My cousin's leaving in two days and it could be years before I see her again. Life will go on if the papers aren't pushed for one day.
