Driving into Oakdale, the song "Hollah Back" came on the radio. I found it quite fitting. The drive back was horrible, as I had to do it all myself. I think the worst part was that I got no sympathy from anyone. Still, four hours and two sweaty palms later and I was home. Leaving SLO was harder than I expected. I love how God has really made this my second home. I no longer cry every time I leave home (just sometimes :P) and have started getting a little teary when I say bye to SLO. Well, maybe more than a little teary, as my friends could attest to.
Which leads me to my second point. I love my friends. It makes me wonder why I want to go to Scotland. Who will be there to hug me as I cry over some burly Scottish man??
These last few days have been full of unpacking and getting settled in. I started off my summer at church by making an idiot out of myself as I read with five ten year olds, got to have lunch with my grandma, and even introduced my parents to the world of Kirk and Spock. In one hour and twelve minutes I will be starting swim lessons (noooo!). 0 down, 16 to go.
1. Miss you and will miss you even more come fall! But we can skype hug when you fall in love with a dreamy Scottish man and bring his adorable twin brother back for me.
ReplyDelete2. I hope the drive wasn't that bad. Maybe driving will be more fun for you now that you got that out of the way. Sorry for our lack of sympathy.
3. So glad your parents have met Spock... he is so great!
4. Swim lessons! You can do it! Just think... more lessons = more scarves and bagpipes in Scotland
haha awww. well i don't think the burly scottish man will make you cry, because he will be perfect, remember? so we will just jump up and down over skype and when you come back will grill him with endless questions, all the while hugging you and bailey in a huge, hour long, awkward, group hug to make up for the lack of hugs while you were gone :)
ReplyDeletesounds pretty perfect :)
