I have nearly expired three times today, because I am actively searching f a ride to Walla Walla for Thanksgiving. This may seem like a seriously silly idea, seeing as Walla Walla is a jacked crazy town, I have decided to blog about it anyway.
I AM GOING HOME!!
I consider Walla Walla the place I grew up, all of the best times I have ever had were there and more than that I get to see one of my Favorite people in the world. Square Toothed-Girl. She is one of my very favorite people in the world, and not only that, she also has a rockin family Mountain Man, Straight Face, and Lego Man (Who I will never get over using the cruciatus curse on me!)
It is always fun to try to explain Walla Walla and the lifestyle there to someone who has never experienced it. How can you honestly? Anyone from there knows what I mean. People who have lived there know it is like no other place on earth. Especially the Mormon culture (or at least that is what I have learned). I had a group of friends who I just loved unconditionally.Now, this is a little silly, because I look at us now, only a year later and we are all over the world and half of us don't even talk to one another anymore. I suppose however, that is what life is a constant eb and flow and i accept that.
I miss my town. I miss the roads that I know perfectly the way the town feels so small at times, and so big at times (mostly when you are in line in Walmart). I am strangely proud of it. I love that we are home of the Walla Walla sweet onions, and that in the summer it smells like Onions in the fall it smells like burning fields and the rest of the time it just smells like earth. I love the friendships I have made, the things I have learned.I know how silly it all sounds, especially to those who live there or have lived here. But there is something there. It tugs at your heartstrings and you have to live it up.
I am so excited also to spend time with Square Toothed-Girl. Without her I don't know how I would have survived high school, or my freshman year of high school at that. She is truly amazing, and anyone who disagrees can just go to hell ;). I love her and her DC ways. And I am so excited I get to spend a few precious days with the second coolest family in the world (sorry I just know my family is the best)
Walla Walla, I will see you in a month!!
WOOHOOO!!
Awwwwww....we are soooooo excited to see you too, sweetie!!!!!
