So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye...

Two of our favorite company friends are headed back tomorrow to the US after over three years on a loan assignment. Libby and Wesley were two of the first people I met when I first got here and we are going to miss them! A small group of us got together at Debbie's house on Tuesday night for a Tex-Mex night complete with margaritas to see them off. Here is a picture of the departing couple... I will miss Wesley, but will miss Libby a little more as we had a pretty fun foursome of girlfriends. Here we are pictured below...from the left is Kristi, Debbie, me, and Libby.

We all have a lot in common including not haveing kids, but instead we all have dogs that we love like our kids. For you non-dog people this would be a good thing! Debbie is the babysitter for Libby and Wesley's new German Shepherd puppy, Hans, and here she is giving him some love before he makes his first trip to his new home in the United States.

Hans was a special guest, our dog Tut would have been a little overwhelmed with two big guys to play with and Kristi and Darren's 4 pound tiny dog would have been trampled. I had to take a snap of Debbie's super sweet lab named Cooper...here he is trying to enjoy his bone before Hans comes to snatch it.

It certainly won't be as fun attending the area festivals when they start up again in April as Wes and Libby were always planning it or present enjoying the festivities. Hopefully they will make it back later this year, otherwise we will have to catch them in Reno when we get back. It was a good time and we wish Wesley and Libby and their pets a safe trip!

Auf Wiedersehen!
