hole in the heart

After much preparation, and some last-minute packing, Susan left for France. She's gonna be teaching English in a high school in Paris... and I'll be missing her for seven months.

It's never easy to say goodbye, even if we are gonna see each other in just over a month - but I am reassured in knowing that she's doing what she wanted to do for so long. I'm proud of Sue for putting up with the corporate world that she dislikes so much, just to have this opportunity.

In every situation, there's a silver lining - in this case, I have just enough time to man-ify the house. I told Sue that when she comes back, race car pictures are gonna be everywhere, and she thought I was kidding. Hehe... I guess we'll see what happens seven months from now ;p
