Thinking of you my friend....
Just got back from the Grand Canyon. It was an adventure and a half, but fearing police action I can't really write about it on here. If you want to hear a hilarious/frightening/rollar coaster of a ride story, ask me. I will gladly tell lol.
Besides the craziness that went down...it was AMAZING. So gorgeous! I had no idea. And the best part of all was that right near our hotel-not in the park mind you, but outside like two miles away in a normal town- there were Elk living there. HUGE elk. And at like 1 in the morning last night I was standing 5 feet from one taking a picture of it. They were completely used to humans, friendly, and it was one of the most exciting experiences ever to stand next to a wild animal without a fence in between. Overall we saw at least ten of them, including babies. I loved it. Now I really really want to go to Yellowstone. We're going to try and plan a trip for next summer.
So the Elk thing was great, and crazy, but that is NOT the outrageous story of the weekend. If I tell you, you won't even believe it. It was right out of a Dateline special or something, but I had a greatly enjoyable weekend despite it!
But this is what this post is really about.....ONE OF MY TREASURED FRIENDS....
I think she knows who she is. I'm thinking of her because she seems so depressed, alone, and feeling as if no one cares about her. But I do care, SO MUCH. Even though I'm far away, that I live in DC, I'm barely around, and that I have a traveling addiction, I do still think about her, and how she's doing. I wish I could be there more, which is hard to convey over the phone. And I know she doesn't think of me as a BEST friend, but her and one other are my BESTS I could ever ask for. They are the only two I've truly, routinely kept up with from high school, and I wouldn't trade our friendships for anything. I hate seeing you so upset, and I can't wait to be home to actually convey that message in person for once, and to try and be the real friend I should be.
I just want you to know I'm here for you! And that on Monday I will LITERALLY be HERE for you. FINALLY I will be in NE...for like 10 days. Cant wait to see you next week!
