We're getting to a point in the collection of countdowns where we are experiencing a series of "last times." I am boarding a plane to head home after visiting Robbie for the last time. Unless my ears become suddenly overwhelmingly wax-ridden, I bought Q-Tips as a single gal for the last time two weeks ago. In a few hours, I will have addressed a wedding invitation for the last time. And this past week was the last time I'll be stuck in Albuquerque without a car. I'm sure I could think of others, but you get the idea.
Robbie, too, has joyfully spoken of some last times in his life as well: last time the quintet performs this semester, last time he has to do a homework assignment in his class, last time he has to spend time with me at "our" apartment before it's officially ours, and last time we have to say goodbye before being together for the forseeable "forever" of the future.
I really like that last one.
I like that last one too :) I am going through the same sort of thing with Paul - I wrote my name on my final exam yesterday and thought, wow, this is the last time I'll take a class as Kristina Woodbury! It felt kind of weird, in a good way :)
