In April we went to visit our friends Greg and Deb in Wisconsin. Although we had been friends for around a year, and spoke with them nearly every week, this was the first time we met face to face. I first came in contact with them by reading Greg’s blog, then I read Deb’s blog, then I started my own blog and they kindly read it. We exchanged a few emails, then started video chatting, and pretty soon they became an important part of mine and Kerry’s lives.
On the plane back from America Kerry and I talked about how much fun we had, how comfortable we felt in their presence, and how much we would miss them.
Fast forward to this evening and this time it’s us waving them off at the airport. Greg and Deb have taken a few days out of their tour of Ireland to spend the weekend with us in England. On the plane back however they are unlikely to be discussing our finer merits as human beings. Instead they’ll be talking about being accused of being spies by a market trader, the scandalous state of British supermarket egg aisles, and our daughter’s tendency to vomit at inopportune moments (we think she’s possibly allergic to Americans).
We had a great time. It all went too quickly. We miss our friends.
