On August 10th, I flew home at 6am.
On August 25th, I flew back to Provo at 8pm.
Shortest two weeks of my life.
My mama and I got to spend so much time together though :)
We went to the movies to see Dark Knight Rises.
We went shopping.
We went to the beach.
It was magical.
I got to see Austin a few times (thanks again for coming over!)
I went to lunch with Liana and met her beautiful baby boy.
I went to BWW, my favorite place to eat in Southern California, with Ashley, Tanner, and Kyle - last time seeing both boys before they leave on their missions! Ashley and I got Pinkberry and stayed out way late chit chatting away. Love you, girl! Can't wait for you to come down to Provo throughout this semester :)
And, I got to see my sweet girl, China Kae Loza. A definite must before I left. I love her. We went to Chipotle, went to Bryce's merit badge award night, went to see Sparkle, and she stayed the night. Perfection. Still didn't feel like enough though :(
I also got to watch Bryce play football! A scrimmage and a game. So good. I have missed watching High School football :( He is such a giant now... :'(
But, it was so good to be back in my home ward and see all the people I love.
And, of course it was great to see my family.
The day I left, the family and I went to the Redlands temple with the YM/YW and then to the Boiling Crab for lunch/dinner. So fun! Our family always have such a blast together :)
Worst part - we ended up being late to the airport. Literally got to the airport 10 minutes before my plane was set to take off. Luckily, they were delayed about 15min so I had some cushion.
BUT.
My dad dropped my entire family at the curb so we could check myself and my bag in.
He went to go quickly park and run back in time to say goodbye.
But, he didn't make it :(
I was literally checking my ticket in at the gate when I saw him running across the street towards the gate. But, I had to run to security, so I missed him. I was crying while running to security. Not a good combination.
Made it to the terminal with 5 minutes to spare.
Then, we didn't even take off until 45 minutes later.
It was tough.
But, it was a great few weeks home!
Short.
But, great :)
Thanks family for making it so fun and for loving me so much :)
Happy first and second day of Fall 2012 semester!
I'm a Junior now.
And, it's my birthday.
So, I'm 20 now.
TIME IS FLYING BY SO FAST.
