in a real city.
(well, not now now because we still have one more week of vacation time in california....)
here are some bits and pieces from home this past week.
this past week has been crazy.
with trying to take my finals early, finish classes, clean and move out, and make it to California in time for the wedding family dinner- life has been crazy.
but we made it to california and dropped sal off with garrett's parents.
then made it to newport in time for the dinner.
family pictures on the beach the next day, setting up for the wedding,
the actual wedding, reception, clean up, sleep, drive to clovis, and now in merced.
i am going to try an finish up the last 7 assignments/tests i have today, that way i can finally feel like i am on vacation.
i feel like i have hardly had time to breath.
we couldnt leave Idaho with out doing Table Rock one more time.
Garrett had never done it before so we did it today.
it rained some. was overcast. sunny.
and was a good hike with good friends.
this is one of those hikes that you curse the whole way up and down.
and you are left sore for days from it
but the view of the Tetons is so worth all of that.
(those little people in the middle are G & I)
last night we had a bon fire at Sharon's.
one last hurrah if you will, though it certainly wont be the last.
today the soul band played at the international dance festival.
it rained some, but it was gerat.
Right after the soul band played, the poetry grand slam happened.
so many talented poets.
this week has been full of lasts.
and its making me so sad.
i may or may not have cried myself to sleep last night.
though we are still going to have these amazing friends, and were going to be back as much as we can, it will never be the same.
but i am so thankful for these times.
i know i say it a lot but
i am too blessed.
Matt is coming home today!
I am so excited.
I've missed him so much.
Those people in Guatemala are going to be sad to see him leave.
I am really bad a keeping a journal.
So ive been doing a line a day.
this was todays:
"8 months ago I said 'yes.' At this rate, forever is going to rock."
