another trip home

Well another trip home has come and gone, and I now sit here in my bed at my mom’s house watching the UAB Spring 2005 concert on dvd…technology and the internet are amazing things…I just mailed off some of my high-8 tapes of memorable concerts and trips and three weeks later I have custom dvds…I am so glad I was born when I was…my trip home was nice, way too short but very nice and much needed…Saturday morning I had lunch with “the girls” ya know how people say that you meet you best friends in college, well these girls are mine, my friends that I hope will be my friends until we are old, while we done always talk as often as we would like, when we get together we just fall back into our usual roles of the group...Girls I love you all so much and I thank you all for everything ( I will post pictures on my other blog, the link is to the right)……after that I went back to Charley’s and we watched football, it was so nice to have a relaxing afternoon just curled up on the couch with him watching TV (even if all the games did not make me happy, at least auburn won, War Eagle)…then we had dinner at superior grill with Melanie and Scott, the last time we went we waited 3 hours and never got a table (it was may 5) so this was like a make up dinner…than back to the house (apt) for more football…church this morning was nice, it is amazing how at home I feel at trinity, I miss it there so much more than I ever thought I would, I miss the people, the atmosphere, the feeling I get just being there, it is my church home and one of the highlights of each trip back to Birmingham…after church Scott treated Haley, Mary Beth, Wesley, Charles, and myself to lunch, it a very sweet thing to do, thank you Scott….then only bad part of the trip was, of course, coming back, ya know I thought that it would get easier the more I went and came back to Jackson, but it feels as if it is just getting harder, I am so ready to be back home with my friends and my charley, I just hope I can make it through the time I have until I move back, and the uncertainty when it will happen, for that I am quickly learning how I must depend on another source of strength, Charles and I both must, I find myself very often asking for help to stay strong, and not burst into tears just because I thought about the way my life was or could be…it is definitely a day to day kinda thing, but I am trying to learn…anyway, enough rambling, I need to go to bed, t/m I have class (yea!!!) and then a night of working…back to the real world, but I cant help but think that in 13 days ill be back home…
