(no subject)
I am completely content.
Being home has been fabulous.
But it has raised a lot of "what ifs".
What if I had stayed in AZ?
What if I had chosen a different path?
What if I had known the speech kids earlier on?
I think that I would have liked college here more than I thought.
But I don't regret leaving for a second.
Josh is leaving ASU. Good. He needs to.
My groups are dissolving.
After Zach's accident, everyone got so close.
Now Max and I are gone. Zach is less involved. Jackie doesn't see them anymore. Josh and Zach are going back to NAU.
The girls are fighting too. Nobody really knows why.
We had a big kick-back last night at Max's...MAx and Zach left for LA this morning. I wish they weren't going away so soon, but it is really good that Zach is finally getting out of the house.
At first Zach was quiet last night. There were a lot of people that he (and I) didn't know. And whenever you have new people they never seem to know how to handle someone who is clearly handicapped. I brought my friend from AU, Yamile, and her friend John. Yamile mainly hung out with Zach and they got along great, but her friend was awkward. When he saw zach's walker he asked what was wrong with him. And when Zach answered, he was like, "oooooh, you are that kid" and then proceeded to ask him intelligent questions like "can you see the future?" and "what powers do you have?"
He did finally open up though. And he had a surprise for me. It was very planned. he was sitting on a table with his walker next to him. he obviously purposely knocked a cigarette on the the floor and when i went to pick it up, he jumped up and did it. He can bend and move his arms, and he gets to move to a cane today! I am so happy. I will post the pics of us later- the first ones of us since he got hurt.
Some of the greatest lines from last night- all zach's (In addition to him asking me 5 times if i has his new number)
Zach: I get a cane tomorrow
John: you should put stickers on it
Zach: I thought about putting bumper stickers on my wheelchair
John: You really should
Zach: (meaning the colorful lisa frank stickers) Yeah! I could get some of those obnoxious ANNE Frank ones!
Zach: Bobbert, when I am rich, I'm gonna buy you something! Like maybe a car. Or a house. Or a boat. Or I'm going to take you on a balloon ride! But not any hot-air-balloon, a diamond crusted one.
Bobbert: Sweeeeeet
Zach: Wait. Are diamonds heavy though? I wouldn't want you to die. Maybe I'll just buy you diamonds!
Max and I spent some good time together the other night. I have been hanging out a lot with the girls, and working over at Dobson a lot! Things have been great. Tonight should be great. State is this weekend! WOOT! I'm so excited that I get to be home for it.
