One of my good friends Jon has recently decided to move back to the "real world" in the good ol' USA. His contract is about to expire and with the many options he has come to face of whether to stay an additional year or get another degree or go back to work, he has chosen to leave the country and head back to the states. Now you should know that although I've only known the man a few months, he has somehow become my "confidant" and a real true friendship has blossomed. I am admittedly sad for his upcoming departure but in the end, I only want what's best for him.
So there I was, planning my first "goodbye" party and the reality of it all was really sinking in. He is the first of the many friends that will be leaving over the next few months until my departure in early February. So all I could think of doing is what I know best...attempt to throw a smashing party and get the group together to say their goodbyes.
Amongst the many ideas, a simple afternoon picnic in the park and a night out in Seoul was in order. Jon's only request was that he would love to order custom T-shirts. Being the planner that I am, I put a smile on my face and attempted to make it all happen in spectacular fashion. Hopefully it'll turn out to be the exit he had in mind and that I'll be able to keep it together.
