On My Way Home

October 7, 2007 3:30pm

Haha, guess what? I’m driving…again.

So, yes, here I am, driving again. But, this time, it’s back to Naperville, my home there, J Well, where do I start, I could go backwards from this point, or I could go forwards from Friday...(That randomly reminds me of the fact that my family is terrible at making decisions. Terrible. We were sitting at Chili’s today, and my brother couldn’t decide whether he wanted Country Fried Steak or Honey BBQ Sirloin…that’s only one instance of it, but it happens all the time, and it’s kind of annoying. :s

So, I’ll start from Friday. My brothers and I finally got to go see where my dad works! Haha, we kind of just had the idea that he worked from his office and maybe talked with people in another state…hehe, yeah, so we saw his office and we met his boss and his assistant person, it was so fun to be there! Annd, I think that a lot of office would be this way, but it had and extremely strong resemblance, for me, of The Office. I don’t know why, but they always seemed to be laughing and joking with each other and complaining…hehe, it was fun! And then, I got to do school! Hahah, I know that that seems like I’m crazy, but I was way behind…so, I did like 3 hours of work while my mom took my brothers to the library or something. It was a happy thing. Then my dad and I said our goodbyes, (and I stumbled through ‘good-to-meet-you’s’) as well got directions for to the Mall of America, or MOA as it addressed itself. (We either had to go under the 77 exit, or get off on it…I don’t know what we did cause my mom had us get off on 2c.)

We traveled down the almost bumper to bumper highway at decreasing speeds, but we eventually got there. And, we walked right through the actual ‘mall’ part of the building into . Haha, so I was kind of bummed that we didn’t do any shopping or anything of the sort, just RIDES! HA! They were so much fun though! The ‘park’ wasn’t that busy, and that allowed us to not have to wait for the rides for more than 10 minutes. That was nice. J So, that was about it for the MOA. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was overall tons of fun!!

So, that’s Friday, on to Saturday. Saturday was a lot of fun too! We woke up about 9:00 and went to have breakfast with the family that we are staying with. Pancakes! They were so good! Thenn, as Saturday-day was a lot warmer than Thursday night, we went back out on the lake! This time I tried water-skiing, I pretty much got up, but it wasn’t perfect…so, yes, I can say that I actually went water-skiing, it just didn’t go very well. J Hehe, I had a great time, and the sun felt so good! After we went out in the boat we went back home and played guitar hero for awhile…I beat Christian which was fairly amazing…and tons of fun. J Then we went and played kickball before we had amazing pizza. And then, because all the sudden there were like 10 kids, we played a bunch of night games, and met this girl named Clara. (She and I didn’t really play that many games, we more talked when we were supposed to be playing…the other kids got kind of mad at us) That was it for Saturday…

And today, Sunday, after we packed up the house we went to church with the family that we were with. And then to lunch at Chili’s…and now we are on the road. I think that we have about three hours left, and I’m pretty bored. Hehe. There has been a lot rain and wind while we are driving, and my mom keeps asking me if we have our seat belts on. Ohh, and the trees are beautiful!! They are orange and red and gold and dark violet, it’s amazing!! And then there are a few that are green…those aren’t as pretty. J I’m thinking that’s it for now!!

I miss you all!
