I never really got it why you'd be homesick when you lived in such a cool place!<BR/><BR/>Mup -- I can see what you mean. I mostly had outgrown the dumb phase by the time I moved to Illinoise, so most of my mems of there are of being taken seriously (mostly!)<BR/><BR/>Steph -- yeah, I TOTALLY missed chatting witcha, but I understand. Cute skirt, BTW. I also neglected to catch Megan on Sunday (but saw Caleb, of course)<BR/><BR/>Geen -- I knew I could count on you to dig our outfits! You shoulda seen my KILLER (literally, I nearly bit it several times) gold shoes. My calves were rather sore the next day!<BR/><BR/>Grace -- I totally feel the same! Thanks for being "count-on-able". :) And YES! Hook me UP with the Sari-Sari "brecky"! :) I have SWI saturday that day, but we could go before. . . or I could be a little late . . . <BR/><BR/>Manda -- did you catch that I was thinking of our conversation when I wrote that about "being real"? Yes, totally GREAT to talk to you! And if you have trouble finding the book, have Julie order it. I've had her get me several copies, so I know she can.<BR/><BR/>Heathah -- NOOOoooo! I want you to stay Heeeeeeere!Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485310328441248086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-6178654196359318732007-03-07T20:21:00.000-05:002007-03-07T20:21:00.000-05:00oh my gosh no dancing! sinner!

Thanks so much for your little "Hi" on my blog :) Things have been a little high-emotion with my family situation going on, on top of my brain being in overdrive constantly with school and work.<BR/><BR/>I am SO glad I know you, and that's not as simple as it sounds. I am SO glad I know you, because you ARE the one person I can really be real with and have the freedom to just TALK. I've been here almost two years, and I can still completely relate with what you're saying. My best friend from home is coming next weekend (I'm thinking we need to have a little Sari-Sari on that Saturday, are you game??) and I am BESIDE myself about her visit! And it's because someone is visiting me who knows me, the good bad and ugly.<BR/><BR/>So I thank you thank you thank you for the friendship we have started to develop, and not in our doing. The Lord has CLEARLY brought you into my life for such reasons as this, and although we talk more over blog comments than in person, I never doubt that I can just be me with you and, like you mentioned in your blog, I don't have to have some alterior reason for talking to you. I love that I can do just that--talk with you!!<BR/><BR/>Yes, this turned into a long comment, but I wanted to let you know all of that as soon as I finished reading your blog. Much love, grace and peace, sister~GloryandGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700428736344317474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-44924552910782710592007-03-07T11:45:00.000-05:002007-03-07T11:45:00.000-05:00What a fab idea! you looked adorable - as usual! ...What a fab idea! you looked adorable - as usual!

Sorry it was so brief (meeting in the ladies bathroom while I'm dumping a yucky bottle...is this the story of my life or what? :)<BR/> I'm glad you got to go to the concert too - how fun. I'm going with Gary this weekend to his "Legends" thing.

I need to look into going to a Beatles tribute concert!!<BR/><BR/>For some of us, that "being known" has an opposite effect, and it's nice to be with people who don't remember the eraser fight you had in the church basement when you were 11.<BR/><BR/>Still, though, it's true that "there's no place like home."MadMuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423479074385854137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28843855.post-22816762504737494882007-03-06T20:49:00.000-05:002007-03-06T20:49:00.000-05:00I want to tell you I know exactly what you mean by...I want to tell you I know exactly what you mean by being "known" at home.
