Last night was a special night - two really good friends are leaving for California in pursuit of new jobs. There was a going away party in their honour, and everyone was there. Everyone had a good time visiting, drinking, eating, and playing pool.
It is so nice when we can all get together like that, as people tend to get really busy with "life", and you tend not to see everybody as much as you would like. All in all, it is good to be around the people that you enjoy spending time with.
Randy is starting his new job with Cryptic Studios on Monday down in California, and we are going to really miss him & Amy. Saying goodbye to friends really sucks. :( This is a great opportunity for Randy & I know that he will really enjoy his new job. We will definitely try and get down for a visit - losing touch with friends sucks!
It was a pretty sober night for me - gingerale was the drink of choice for me. I have noticed over the last few months (drinking very little) that I can have just as much fun if not more by not drinking - I just look a little less stupid (I think) :)
There was some pretty serious pool playing going on - teams, and one on one. The night started off with Tomas & Brennan kicking Jeff & me at pool. It wasn't a pretty sight, and I decided to go with Tomas as my partner for next time. Not that Jeff was bad, just felt it was time to switch it up. Tomas and I did pretty good....it also helps when Brennan scratchs on the 8 ball a few times.
Later on in the evening with a new partner, Rob & I attempted to beat Tomas & Brennan. It went fairly well as Brennan was consistent in his scratching with the 8, and Rob & I won 3/4. Rob & I attempted to play a few games by ourselves, however it eventually turned into a betting ring - trying to see if Rob could make a number of impossible shots. No shots were made, and the games ended with Rob walking away with his head between his legs. All in all it was good times in the pool room.
Mike & Jill came up for the festivies with the kids and crashed at our place. We haven't see Eamon yet, so I can't wait til he wakes up. I am sure he is the cutest little thing.
Sounds like the entire house is up, and I should check out what is going on!

Sounds like it was a great time. That's great to hear! I know Randy & Amy will have a great time down here. I am just in the process of cleaning my place up for guests........
Anyway, as much as saying goodbye to friends sucks, I think it also sucks to have leave home behind - I know it's been a big adjustment for me coming down here. I think it will be great to have some friendly faces around after Randy & Amy arrive.
Thanks for keeping me up to date,

Hey Carl! I am sure they will feel a little better knowing they have a friend where they headed.
Leaving the home or area you have always lived in can be a very hard thing to do - I don't know if it is something I could do. It is almost like leaving your life behind and starting a new one.
I am sure that you will make them feel as much at home as possible.
