Mark and Tom have finished their year abroad here in Leiden, and all three of them have gone back to England. I always knew becoming so close to someone who wasn't going to be around very long was a bad idea, because the time always goes by too fast and then it's over. Of course, I didn't learn this lesson from Rene, because I just married him and we saved ourselves from "gone forever." Unfortunatly, Rosie is going to marry Mark next summer so I can't fix the problem that way!! (haha!)
I threw Rosie a surprise bridal shower/going away party last Thursday evening. Since all year long Rosie and I would complain that we weren't invited to "guys' nights," I decided to have our own "guys' night" with all the girls. So we dressed up in jeans and t-shirts and ball caps, ate pizza and wings and drank beer, and played party games on the wii. We were supposed to go outside to have a spitting contest, and also to the pool hall to play pool and darts, but the evening was just too short.
Rosie's the one in the girly striped sweater!And then on Saturday Rene and I had our Bible study over for a going away party for Mark, Rosie, Tom, and another student named Trevin. We played an improv game based off a TV show here in Holland that is a lot like Who's Line Is It Anyway, which I thought was fun, but I don't know if everyone else did . . .

Oh! And the night before Rosie's party (Wednesday), our Bible study went to the Tikibad (watch the video!), which is an indoor waterslide/wavepool/hot tub place. The waterslides were really good fast ones that made your tummy flip over, and we had a lot of fun there.
But the moral of the story is that it was a very busy week for me!! I slept or bummed around almost the whole evening last night, but I needed it!
