home again, home again

Thursday, August 14, 2008

Well, we got up on Wednesday morning and Jessica’s mother had made a delicious breakfast for us. We ate and watched some more Olympics, then we got on the road just after 7. We drove and drove and sang and whatnot. We got to Ben’s house in Atlanta (Conyers, if you want to be picky) at around 2 or 3. We unloaded his stuff (but I’ve already found his bedsheet in the car, so who knows what else he left in there) and talked to his dog, a chihuahua who apparently wanted to come to South Carolina with me, as he decided to camp out in the passenger’s seat. I headed out and maneuvered the roads of Atlanta quite brilliantly, on my way home finally. I called all sorts of people, trying to keep myself from getting antsy or bored in the boring drive from Atlanta to Greenville. I got within 3 miles of the house when I was slowed down by a car that insisted on going so slowly that it made me cry. I got home and yay! I’m here! Woo! Chris came over for dinner, Paul came over after that, and there were wii competitions. Quite fun. I pooped out and here I am this morning. I am sitting here all by myself with the dog, who is quite content. Mom and Amy left for PA just a little while ago (boo) and Dad has gone to work now. He’s apparently going to Kansas on Sunday, so nobody will be around. I’ll probably hop between Clemson and Greenville for a little while.

Thanks for being awesome readers! Amy has promised to blog for us while she’s gone. I don’t know how frequent my blogging will be this school year. Grad school puts a lot on your plate, so yeah. We’ll see. But anyway, thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it!

So glad you're home safe. Can't wait to see Amy's blog! That really was a fabulous trip, girl. All those places out west are "larger than life". Really puts some perspective on everything else. Have you seen the movie "Grand Canyon"? http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800168415/info
