It was actually awesome to see them again and we had a fun evening and... early morning I guess. I actually went to bed at 4:00 AM Sunday, despite being the driver and not drinking any alcohol. The girls were all drunk, but well, you only live once. It was a nice evening regardless and a welcome distraction for us all. So far, my life seems to go in a bit of a better direction. Let's see what the next few days and weeks of the new year will bring...
