Coming Home

The past week was amazing.
It was as if I never left. Everything felt right.
I loved every part about my trip up north (besides one tiny detail...yes I see your faces Molly, Heidi, and Hales)
The first thought that entered my mind when my plane touched down in Sacramento was, "Why is everything so green? And where are the palm trees?"
But I missed it.
I missed the green pastures, the large trees, the beautiful sky, the icy mornings.
It felt so good to be back.
It felt so good to walk into Starbucks, and see at least 5 people I know.
It felt so good to go to Chevron six times a day.
It felt so good to be sitting in Molly's bed again, doing absolutely nothing, and loving it.
It felt so good to be laughing at the random Auburnites.
It felt so good to go to Taco Tree and eat my life away.
I missed it.
I loved shopping with Tasha. I loved seeing my best friend Tams. I loved holding Pancakes, who is quite large now. I loved going to the gas station upon 5 minutes of me being back and seeing three people I know. I loved drinking an Icee when it's 40 degrees out. I love seeing Mom & Dad Huusfeldt. I love sitting in Taco Tree with Molls and Heidi. I love seeing my big sister and watch her laugh at everything I do. I loved Molly dragging me to her volleyball practice. I loved driving her to our high school, and knowing I didn't have to go. I loved when I fell down Molly's steps because I forgot how icy it is in the morning. I loved sitting at Bear River for hours watching Heidi and Adina work, even though I never went even attended school there. I loved knowing everything and everyone, even if they didn't know me. I loved seeing Aunt Pam and Uncle Greg. I loved seeing Cherisse and her adorable husband. I loved staying up till one catching up with Molly. I loved sitting in Starbucks for hours laughing with Jen about our lives. I loved seeing Dimitri and missing our friendship. I loved going to the Butler's and laughing with old high school friends. I loved seeing Bergman and listening to his college stories. I loved how I magically can unlock Heidi's car. I loved how I walked through Forest Lake and how thankful I was that I had already graduated. I loved being the chaffeur and bringing people coffee. I loved the way the fog set over the mountains early in the morning. I loved seeing Haley everyday. I loved going to Grass Valley and eating chinese food. I loved listening to Cole's mom give us interesting advice. I loved going to Nick and Brie's house and listening to his cop stories and getting burnt by the bonfire. I loved the crisp cold weather and the small town feel.
I really needed that break from here. I really needed to be reminded of my cute little Auburn town.
I cannot wait visit more. It is so ironic in that I hated living up there. And now I miss it. I'm so thankful I got to visit.

And now reality is back.
Christmas Break is over. It was the most amazing break. Going to Orange and pulling the "rain" card so I could stay an extra night, many fun days at work, having Eve be my new best friend, karaoke bar, watching many movies, playing with Biscuit, being with my family, going to the movies, mall, etc. and visiting Auburn.
BUT.
Now I get to go back to Azusa. Not the least bit excited about this.
Besides the fact I get to see my girls.
Let's just get through this semester, and let it be better than last semester.
The end.
