Home again

Well im back from my sojourn to Linda's and I seem to have survived it with all pieces still in tact so yay me. I had a pretty good week and a half over there, I'd forgotten how far out Chicago Park is from town, im not used to driving for 20 minutes to get home from work anymore. It was fun to be able to be out in the sticks again with animals running around making noise all over the place again. Im going to miss Tony- Linda's latest dog- he was such a sweetie, followed me everywhere inside and out. I had a few friends over Wednesday night and we got a nice scare from one of the neighbors that stopped by to borrow something. Well as it happened, we didnt hear him knock and the door was open so he came in looking for me. We were all out back on the porch laughing and talking and just being hyper in general so when the door creaked open all of a sudden- and it actually did creak- we pretty much freaked out because to our knowledge we were the only ones around. (the neighbors car had been gone when we came home) It turned out to be the neighbor...kid? i guess you could call him. Linda had said he could borrow some stuff so he was just coming over to say hi and grab it. He was really nice about all of it but man it sure got our heart rate going lol. I didnt have to work this last thursday so i convinced dad to take his boat out... not that he really needed convincing but still. It was going to be just dad, carol and I but it ended up being Allyson, Kyla, Brandon, and Brian as well. it was a lot of fun I must say and to my credit, I was out on the water for about 6 hours and I didnt even get a sunburn how is that for awesome? My muscles are rather protesting the abuse i put them through while using the inner tube but I would have to say it was well worth the pain and i would do it again as soon as all my muscles work how they are supposed to. I think its pretty much for sure that im going to be moving in with Rick right after Devon for a few months at least, hes thinking he will stay put for at least 6 months and possibly a year or more so that should give me some time to get settled in and all that good stuff, who knows maybe ill move after 6 months its been known to happen :D
