I'm home...
Well i got home a week ago tomorrow and oh so much has happened. I get home and so much has changed. There are now 3 honey bee hives in my back yard. Very cute fuzzy little things. There are 2 sheep in my backyard...i got home and looked at one and thought it was a cow at first glance....dont laugh if you saw this sheep so would you. This county has been developed so rapidly this year its ridiculous. the new walmart is open. The Perdue railroad placey thing now has buildings behind it. Theres a new bennigans in Vineland, and acres of trees have been destroyed in Millville for more stores...not to happy about that....
I saw closing night(or pieces)of Hopewells show. I definately missed working with my kids this year...oh well...i definately felt like a celebrity coming in though. All my kids came running up to me and gave me hugs and were like we missed you! Oh and i have to hand it to him....Kris did the whole running green room job wonderfully....youve been taught well...lol
So yesterday i was getting job applications from deptford and was on my way home and the clutch on the saab went out...while i was driving down the highway....kinda freaky....so thats not operational right now...and when my mom went to pick up my dad from where that was towed too the lincoln wouldnt start...the starter had died on that....our cars suck at life right now....
I went kayaking yesterday with Sam, Kira, and Jenni...it was fun...i'm not really good at going straight though...
Regionals concert was last night...it was really weird sitting in the audience...i felt like i shoulda been up there with em....OH!!! there were enough guys in the choir to count them with 2 HANDS!!!! how exciting!!! They sang "Seasons of Love" and dedicated it to the memory of Matt...ok next time you plan on doin that guys you need to warn me...and Matts memory wall...one of the most awesome things ive seen...i love it...
Since i got home last saturday i have been thoroughly cleaning my room. i dont know why i started, i just did. so far 4 lg black trash bags of trash are cleaned out of it, 2 lg boxes of clothing, as well as a whole pile of other things which are now in the middle of the living room. Its been really weird. things i wouldnt even think of parting with last summer ive been getting rid of. Its almost like i'm purging my life of the insignificant trinkets that i dont need. It really hit me when i started taking the old pictures from camp off my door, i was closing the closet on my childhood. Its not like i am all adult all the time now or anything, its just i realized i need to move on i guess. I dunno its weird. All this stuff i couldnt think of parting with a year ago is now gone. And i feel good about it! i got over the whole i need to keep all this stuff to keep memories alive...which is a sign of maturity. I am finding pictures of old friends that i havent seen in years and their memories are still with me...it had nothing to do with the stuff i had that reminded me of them. Omg ive found so many pictures of Matt in here its weird...andi put them away....which is something i couldnt do a few months ago. He is still alive in my heart...i dont need things out everywhere to remind me of that. I didnt think i had changed that much since i left for school but i can now tell i have. maybe not personality wise....i'm still as crazy weird as ever...but maturity level is up even more than it was before. i have let emotions in this year that i hadnt in years...i dunno...its complicated....i dont know what to think about it...
