Keeping Mum or Mum's the Word

I am having a difficult time keeping secrets. I am not one to spill the beans but I find it hard to not be able to talk about something exciting. I am sure you’re all with me on that or are you actually good at keeping secrets and if so, how do you do it???

It is official now and I can talk about it. So here it goes. My best friend who is still living in Ireland, will be moving back to Germany! There you have it. It is out and I feel so much better.

She and I have so many things in common and I have missed her every single day ever since moving back myself around this time last year. We even share the same first name. Kat and I used to work for the same airline before she left the company to move to greener pastures. We kept in touch and went through a lot of things together. We called each other almost every day. Thursdays were the days that we would have our girl’s night in our favorite Pub and Kat was always there. We went to the gym together, we travelled around Ireland together, we cooked together…there’s not much we did without consulting the other one.

Kat met her boyfriend at my 30th birthday come engagement party and a few months down the line they moved in together. They are a lovely couple and I enjoy spending time with them. I was heartbroken when we moved back to Germany. You know how you seem to always have different friends in certain phases in life but some friends stick around forever? Well I was always hoping and praying that she would stick around and that we would not lose touch once we were separated. (I can hear the hubby’s voice in my head now “Yeah like that would actually happen “*sarcastically raised eyebrow*)

Now Kat’s boyfriend joined the company the hubby and I are working for and she said after seven years in Ireland it is now or never. She will actually be moving back. They are coming this Sunday and we will be looking at apartments in my neighborhood. Previously Kat and I lived a mere five minute walk apart. Needless to say I AM PSYCHED.

Andreanna I will definitely try that Chili. It is one of my favorite foods and I will definitely come by your blog more often.

Not so perfect Oh thanks Shawna, we will try to be good but those two bottles of Baileys I have had in the back of my kitchen...well those will "magically" disappear while watching episodes of "Father Ted". LOL

Oh I am so happy for you - your best friend 5 minutes away? SOOO GREAT!

Anonymous said...

Oh! That's really exciting! REALLY exciting! Those kinds of friends are few and far between, and it's always so exciting when it works out that you can live around each other again.

I feel that perhaps the two of you will be referred to as "double trouble" in your neighborhood bars soon. :)

Stephanie said...

That is definitely exciting!!!!

I am dreading my best friend moving away in about six months. Her fiance got offered a great job offer, so they are going. It is going to be super hard.

Maggie Moo said...

Though, I was kind of thinking you were going to tell us you were having a baby. :-/

kat said...

Melissa Thank you. We can't wait really.

Don Mills Diva It's the best gift ever. I feel blessed.

Cassafrass Good friends are indeed few and far between. You're so right.

Steph Oh no. That's horrible...Hope you get to spend a lot of time together before she moves away.

Mags Thank you. Nah there's no baby for us on the radar yet ;o)

misguidedmommy said...

I am often the "secret keeper." I guess peeps trust me and shit. I get over it by pretending to have a short term memory, or laughing to myself that if they ever dared screw me over (these are the dirty no good secrets I keep) I would have plenty of ammo. Moral of the story: Don't tell me secrets and then try to throw me under the bus!
