Ohana means family, family means nobody get left behind. Or forgotten

So i have left my home and my friends and flown to Sydney to spend a few days with some family before leaving on the 4th for USA. the 1st was my last day of work where i finished up at 4pm. it will be the last time i work with alot of those people. i will dearly miss them and wish them all the best for the future.
on thusday i had my going away dinner/drinks. thanks to rach, alex, jordan, trista, marlee, alyse, jose, kristen, jack and andi for coming along for some good chats over dinner. special metion to the best people in the world marlee and alex for their gift of Gucci Guilty (a cologne i have been obsessing over for months). the dinner was so much fun and im glad i could catch up with everyone over that relaxed setting.
following on from dinner we hit the pig n whistle where more people from work joined us for some good times. the likes of bre, chris, sam, caru, cj, steve, yvette among others joined to make the night a fun event. thanks to all those that came out with a few coming straight from work.
so the last day of work was bittersweet. on one hand im about to start an amazing journey and have the time of my life. on the other hand im leaving my friends and basically family (hence the quote). not seeing kylie three times a week or chatting to manda in reception is something i will miss. leaving my department in the hands of others has always been a challenge for me and no doubt ill freak out over it. i have faith melissa can keep it all together.
the hardest thing was leaving my best friend. truly the best person in the world marlee wiseman. we talk daily and freak when we dont see each other for more than two days. she is a strong, thoughtful, deliciously mean, has a killer sense of humour and is the most amazing person. of all the people i have known she is the best friend that killed me to leave behind. we will email, tweet, kik, and skype often as while i go through a huge life change she is about to embark on a career change which is exciting.
thanks again to 5184 team for all the memories. thanks to those that signed my card (its coming to america) and thanks for the gift. i never expected anything but will take lots of photos with my new camera which i just love. again thank you to marlee for the effort of starting a collection. also thanks to adam who in the last week has become a very valued friend indeed(dont worry mate a mufusa will be in the mail).
im going to try make a vlog before i leave but if not catch you on the flipside aka america.
take care and live life
