going back.

i love home. i love my home ward, and seeing everyone from the kids/youth and how much they've grown over the last few months, to the adults-my former leaders, teachers, neighbors, and then esPECially the kids my age. once again, a fairy tale engagement happened. a dear friend in my homeward i've known literally since birth, two months after mine, is engaged to a boy she dated in high school, then wrote on his mission.
WHOA. i'll probably have a wet face the entire reception. which will be attractive. but i'm still excited.

annnnd. last night on pride rock, i caught up with another darling friend from home, my dear rachelry. and the night before with coley and kenji. it's crazy how much time has gone by since i've met these three, kinda seems like yesterday and forever ago at the same time.

which brings me to this lady(on the right):
best friend forever. it doesn't matter how long it's been, or where you've been, it's aaaalways wonderful to see...the best friend.
(speaking of which....fall 2012...you could come a little faster, if you'd like, you know.)
anyway.

happy.

going back to your roots, whether they be your high school, childhood, or just home memories, can be quite refreshing.
