Fantastic farewell-party!

My farewell-party this past Saturday was fantastic! Thanks so much to the more than 30 friends that made their way through the snow to see me off in Munich! I really appreciate your coming - thanks a million! You're really made saying good bye very difficult for me, but you've also made me look forward to my coming-back party already!

In my next post, I will start publishing pictures!

Good news, bad news

Let's start with the bad news - just found out that I won't be able to get that nice home on the beach after all. Turns out someone else made a better offer. Darn.

Good news is that more people have responded to my party invitation! As of now, 29 people have said that they're coming! Really looking forward to being seen off by so many of my friends...
