Aww Angie! Enjoy yourself!.. you'll see your bubs soon.
I know that feeling.. I missed Jibby like crazy when I worked in Uluru then moved to the Sunshine Coast. Every couple of months I'd fly home just to see him (yep not to see the family just Jibs LOL)! I ended up spending just over a year away from his life.

I couldnt wait to see him again. And as soon as I settled back here again. I got him back. I think my Dad thought Jibby was his! But he forgot that Jibby is my bubby! hehehe. I feel horrible leaving him as during my teen years I didnt spend much quality time with him and I feel so guilty of that! He was well looked after though. Just I wasnt there most of the time.

I'm making up for it now.
