I feel like I'm quite the broken record lately...I'm busy and so many things that used to be new and exciting are now routine and unblogworthy. I think that might be why there are people out there that never stop moving, addicted to the gypsie lifestyle. My good friend Kayla has just moved to LA for the summer and I am beyond jealous. It's great to hear her stories about all the new things shes experiences and I must admit, it makes me envious. I should be complaining considering all the movin and groovin I've done this past year but the grass is always greener isn't it?
As true as all of that is, I can't tell you how badly I am in need of a visit home. I LEAVE TOMORROW!!! I feel like it is the one true place I can recharge my batteries. I have been in VISTA for over 10 months now working with 2 different organizations, living in 4 different locations, meeting and leaving friends along the way. Starting over is both exhilarating and exhausting all at the same time. I think that I'm fortunate enough to have appreciation for both types of life style. I know I love the life I have now, traveling, workng, exploring new places. I think it has made me an incredibly strong person in these last 10 months. On the other hand, I think that I would be completely content at home in Iowa, married with kids at this point in my life too. I think its how the old saying goes, you have to love the life you live.
Annnnnyways, today is the big community meeting that we've been planning forever. I'm working as the head facilitator in front of about 70 people comprised of judges, mayors, county officials, etc. Its a pretty big deal but it should be a piece of cake. Once that is over I'm picking up the pooch and heading to see Ryan to celebrate his birthday that I'm missing May 30.He has informed me that he has the sweetest birthday date ever because its a lake celebration holiday that always has a 3 day weekend. I can't argue there...lucky bastard.
I also have a debate going with somone on the proper way to hold hands with someone. My argument is you do the "cupped" hand with strangers and interlocking fingers with people you know/love. I think the cupping sucks and they do it all the time! Ew. Let me know your thoughts so settle ths debate once and for all!
love you all, miss you all, can't wait to see some of you soon!
