Sweet Home Alabama
I know they say you can never go home again, but it sure is good to come back to what you know. I'm in Alabama for the night before going back to Memphis to fly to Orlando on Friday (my Tour de United States I guess). I called up Kayla randomly and we got together for dinner. Ran into Angela while she was workin. Then we went to Kayla's church and I got to see several people before they ran back off to school. It is kinda nice to not be in the mind frame to go back to school yet. I'm definately ready to be back at Transy, but...
It was the first time i've seen a lot of those kids since graduation too. Craziness! Class engagements are still at a known 3, although several are just buying time. 2 marriages have already occurred in the class ahead of mine. I really cannot handle this! It's bad enough that my friends in college are planning their weddings!
Finally experienced Florence's Krispie Kreme doughnut shop. Ugh! I'm so stuffed. I was full when we left O'Charley's and yet I still went to Krispie Kreme. They give you hot doughnuts off the doughnut maker thing while you think about what you want. Those suckers MELT IN YOUR MOUTH. Oh my gosh! they are so good!
I've really missed it here. There's nothing to do and it's so incredibly behind the rest of the world (although catching up in terms of food), but it's home to me. The hugs I got from everyone tonight made me happy. Mom's been talkin about what she's going to do after the holidays. Sounds like an official move someplace. I really do not like that idea. Even though I'm never here, it still gives me comfort to know I can come here if I need to. GA knows what I mean. Alabama is my home. I don't know how much longer i'll get to say that though. it sucks. I like knowing that I was missed. I was once asked what I want in life. I want to be missed. When I die, I want someone to remember me fondly and miss me.
