What’s More Fun Than Home?

Apparently that would be college. . .  Allie insisted that I take her back.  *sigh*
I don’t know what got into me. . . I let her drive part of the way.  Anyone who knows me would be shocked.  Somehow I survived.

She felt she was deserving of a dinner out too.  Lucky for her I was planning on going to the Spaghetti Factory any way Smile

She usually rides her (borrowed) bike to and from school, but since I was around . .  I picked them both up.

I miss being around college campuses.  If only regular life felt like a college campus with all the room (while everyone is in class) and energy (when they aren’t)

I got to hang out with both Jennifer and Allie in Jen’s apartment.  We went on a girl’s outing to the movies.  (I love that they have dollar theaters and wish we had a good one here.)

Samuel joined in and we went to dinner (maybe it was the same place as the night before. . . but I don’t live around one)

I was able to add to my stash of church books (I LOVE clearance sales.)

Allie and I ran around a bit the next day. . .

I am not used to so much traffic (because we are very spoiled here and we know it.)

And I was able to take Jennifer to her job (as a cashier at a water park) before I took my leave.

The next day it was time to return to reality, so I packed up a cooler before my drive across a hot desert in a vehicle with NO air conditioner.

Once one of your children leaves, your heart is no longer in one piece.  Part of it will ALWAYS be with them.
