so i'm back in Richmond, and happy about it. this weekend was way to much for me to handle. plus, i didn't do any school work whatsoever, which was not a good decision. if it wasn't for Sunday, i'm pretty sure that i would have lost my mind.

i went to church with Wesley's family on Sunday. by the way, i got to use my car that day, for the WHOLE day, which was exciting. anyways, i got to church literally right before it started. i saw Danny, Wesley's brother, and JW, Wesley's step-dad. JW gave me a hug and said it was good to see me. then Wesley's mom came over. i hadn't seen her in a good 3 months, so it was awesome to see her again. she came up to me and gave me a huge hug and said "i miss you so much!". it's good to know that they like me; reassuring.
the church that they go to is very relaxed. they don't have a regular pastor anymore, so the guy who teaches sunday school does the sermon. that's pretty tight, because he always has some weird game-like thing for everyone to do. very sunday school - ish. it's a baptist church, so they sing a lot, like all baptists. during the first song everyone's supposed to "meet your neighbor". Wesley's mom came back over and told me she loved me. i'm not really sure how to think about that. i feel like they're practically my second family. Knox said that she probably gets so attached because she's so religious, which i think is probably true. but it's still nice to know that they care so much about me.
after church i went back to their house and Wesley's mom made dinner for everyone. Wesley's little step-niece was there, and she's the cutest thing ever. i hadn't seen her in a while either, so that was good. she's got so much energy, i don't know what to do. like if i ended up having a kid like that, i would probably have a breakdown every day. i don't know how Wesley's mom does it. shes probably like my mom though, she always wants someone to take care of. and they're both pretty good at it, so more power to them.
anyways, she cooked dinner and we all ate together. i played with Skylar, Wesley's little step-niece, for a few hours. then Wesley called. i was hoping that that would happen while i was still at his house, because it'd make it easier for him to talk to all of us. he sounds like he's having a lot of fun, and like he's making a lot of friends. it's kind of like he's at summer camp, actually. but i'm glad that he's not hating life and regretting joining the army.
and there's only 3 more weeks left until i go down to Georgia to see him! it's amazing how the time has really flew by. Mrs. Walker says that it feels like so long ago that he left, but looking back on it for me it really seems like it was yesterday. it was so hard to have to say bye to him, especially since all of his jackass friends were there with us at the recruiters. i can't wait until i go down to Georgia. it's going to be the happiest fucking day of my life thus far.

i'll leave you with this:

me + katie ; freshman year homecoming.
