I'm sure she will be going back to much excitement. Her stories were fantastic.

I'm sorry your friend left, but who knows? Maybe you'll see each other again! It's always sad to see 'em go, though.

Oh, the secret gift exchange was a definite highlight. I received the most adorable little paper chain necklace.
