It was a bittersweet day. It was the last day Kristen and I got to work together, but don't worry, we took lots of pictures. Unfortunately I left the camera in Branson so you'll have to wait a while to see any of them. That may be a good thing.
Dan and I drove home tonight. I love car rides with Daniel. First of all because he makes sure he listens to music he thinks is appropriate for my "innocent" ears. Second, because he offers to buy me a drink when he sees that gas is only $3.26 a gallon and feels like he can splurge $1.44 on soda. Thirdly, because he likes to talk while he drives. It makes a car ride all around enjoyable. I think he may be my first pick if I were ever to go on a road trip.
The first thing I saw when going into the house was Max. I love our dog. Then Bobby comes running around the corner, "CHRISTI!!!" and gives me a pat on the back. Then Stephen comes in the kitchen with a glass in his hand and a straw in his mouth trying not to look too happy. Haha! I love my brothers. The first thing Jed says to me is, "Christi, remember this song?". It was "Chain Gang" by Sam Cooke. "Yes," I told him, "I love that song." and it carried me down a road of memories sitting on Dan's bed while Josh digs through piles of junk on the floor looking for a bike tool. Music and smell remind me of things more than anything else. It's weird how that happens.
I will see Gary in 5 days. I was thinking about it earlier and my stomach started turning. Five days, people! I get to see my nephew in 5 days! It has been 2 years, 1 month, and 4 days since I've hugged his cute face. I can't wait to do it again.
No pictures tonight. Kristen and I took some of us trying to look sad but it turned into a giggle fest. Why is it so hard to look sad while taking a picture? I have no idea.
