Ok, it seems very strange to come home after so long spent with new friends. I just realized the other day that for two months I have been making friends (Ruthann, Chloe, Erin, Lydia, Melinda, Christina, Briana, Katie, Rachel, Tim, Philip, Andrew, JRod, James, Jonathan, Jackman, Ruining, and Jarod to name a few) whom my family has never met, scarcely heard of, and of whom they know nothing except the few references I have been able to make during phone calls home. For two months, I have spent time getting to know these folks and more and it is very strange to suddenly go home among old friends whom I have known my whole life.
Strange is the only word I can use to describe it.
Very strange.
But now that I am home, it seems as if nothing ever changes. I was telling Bree on the phone that there is no evidence that my time in HQ was not just a dream. The only thing that has changed is the house. Places don't change. People never change. It seems as if the same things that were going on and were controlling interests to different people when I left are still that way.
We are extremely busy just now. Last night, I spent with the Davises. Danielle and I had tea like we haven't done in a while. Nathan, oms! Nathan was a sweetheart. I was scarcely in the door before he wrapped himself around my waist. I had to pick him up so he could "hug me higher." Sat on my lap, showed me pictures, showed me his cowboy boots and hat, showed me how tall he is and kissed me goodnight. My soul! how I missed him while I was gone. Then D came in and after asking me very nicely to fix a suit jacket for him, had the awesome nerve to insult my intelligence the whole rest of the evening. Danielle, we must punish him.
Today is bound to be busy. James is in need of a haircut and Dad is in need of a full tank of propane. Mom and I are both in need of Walmart's Photocenter. The living room is in need of dusting. My suitcase is in need of packing. The dishes are in need of washing. The stairs are in need of sweeping and this blog is in need of updating. |

Glad you made it home safely! Were you able to get into your room, or is it still full of furniture?
I loved reading about your welcome home greetings from Nathan. He is such a dear. I'll never forget the day when he washed your watch and took you on a "date." :)

What's this about a "date?" I'd like to hear how it went :)

ok hold everything. this blog is not a place where i write about such personal stuff, otherwise it would not be personal anymore and for another thing, stop signing yourselves "anonymous".

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
