I’m sitting in Ashley’s room on this late Sunday morning. We debated about going back and visiting my old church but clearly didn’t make it there. But after showers and looking have way decent to enter into the world we are going to Crimson Cafe. Its been good being back, strange but good. Ashley has moved to the side of town I used to live at, off of the very street even. I think I’m going “home” almost since I’m with Carla and driving in Carla’s car. But then we take a right instead of left towards adorable Main Ave to River Run apartments where Emma would be waiting for us to walk in. Emma is still waiting for us, just in another city not as familiar to me as here.

The wedding yesterday was so sweet, I teared up a little during one of the songs. Not that I could hear the lyrics (we came right at 4pm and they started a bit early) but just the fact that two people who are dear to me where getting married. It was an outside wedding and the day was perfect for it. Most of my work family here didn’t know I was coming. That surprised me since a couple of them did and the way things fly around that place, its amazing they didn’t know. I didn’t catch the bouquet, but thats okay. My photos will follow after I return to the west coast were I am able to up load them. But, I’m going to steal one from Katie for yall to see.

Its bittersweet being back. This place is all too familiar and so many memories make me smile at the site of places. I miss the closest of friends here. Ones who I know who are routing for me in my relationship. I don’t have to defend anything about a long distance down here it seems (other than they wanting to find me a boyfriend here so I will stay here), they just cept that he makes me happy and thats good enough for them. Some new buildings have gone up, which is weird (nice big movie theater for one). Springtime in the south is one of the more beautiful things in this world. Along with spending lots of time with friends I have missed so much. There are few things that are sweeter in this life than this.
