being back home.

     I recently got a change to skip town and head back home to Willows.  Unfortunately Luke wasn't able to come because he was working so it's just me here. I was originally planning on only staying for a few nights but the plane tickets I planned on purchasing were about three hundred plus dollars for an hour drive to Burbank and another hour and forty five minutes to Sacramento, not to mention the forty five minute flight. I figured if I'm going to pay all that money I should stay in town a little longer. It was supposed to be one week.  That of course didn't change the price of the tickets (when I hate flying anyway) but luckily I knew some one who was driving to Willows.  I was able to catch a ride with her, all seven hours of it, hoping to listen to the lectures that I'm behind on for class.  They ended up putting me to sleep pretty quickly but that just made the drive shorter!
     Eventually I made it to Willows said hi to my parents scooted off to Starbucks with a few people and found sixteen billion other people I was happy to see. My dad taught me to drive a stick shift.  That was an adventure. I killed it at least twice.  I'm sure that in an emergency, I'll be able to almost make it to the destination.  Which is closer than "out of the parking lot" where I no doubt would have been had I not received any training at all.
     I finally put some music on my Ipod, but it's all really old CDs that I have had since eight grade probably. Most of it anyway.  I'm cheap and I don't want to buy new music yet.  I've figured out how to put my lectures on it though, so I'd say that's a victory for the technologically impaired.
     Ah, I made it to church yesterday.  Saw a lot of friends, talked to a lot of people.  Only one person thought that me and Luke were "taking a break" Which is a lot less that I thought it would be!  We've only been married three months how much could go wrong!  Things are amazing! Not just because he got me the Ipod either.  It's the thirteen hour days, six days a week he puts in for us. Wait...or to get away from me!!! Nah, probably not that.  Things are amazing because he's just so, in tune with God and his Will for us.  If it was up to me I would have wanted to stay in Willows our entire lives but because he heard the voice of God, we're all the way across the state, going to great churches and growing in the Lord and growing in each other.  If Luke ever reads this then, "thanks for bein you!"  He's not going to so I'll just tell him later.
     Let's see... Jen came from Sac and brought with her homemade strawberry jam. Oh. My. Goodness. It's literally the most delicious jam I have ever had.  I'm never going to buy store brand jams every again.  As long as she wants to make me jam that is.  Even then I'd never want to go back.   Her and Joey brought the Kinect down and they all played whatever that dancing game is, they all rock at it too! Watching my parents play guitar hero was one thing but my mom owns at dancing to poker face.
     Oh, we all went to Casa Ramos too.  I haven't had Mexican food in forever, so it was fun.  I ended up getting salsa all over my shoes and my pants, courtesy of my father.
     So that's about it so far, besides staying a night over at one of my friends houses. We were instantly tired after watching The Nanny. terrible show. THE END
