This is my first summer living away from home and the experience made me realize how blessed I am to have such a great family who supports my big dreams. Living on my own has taught me how to be independant, but also brings to my attention all those little things I have become accustomed to that I take for granted when I am home. The big trees, the backroads, the street signs. My mom and I sitting in our kitchen talking about everything and anything. My dad waking up far too early roaming around downstairs. Even my brother, coming and going with the social tides and music fests.
Not much has changed, and yet everything has changed. The house is full of so many knick knacks from Grandpa, all of which is taking about a century to sort through. My dad is now the ring leader of his own family circus ever since grandpa passed away, so this father's day in particular is the most difficult he as an individual has experienced.
Yesturday was a great day. My family and I went down the road to a little Italian bistro called Rosa Luca's, had some fantastic martini's and delicious food. Than my brother and I went to the Tavern (the closest divey-bar to our house) and met up with all my best girlfriends. My best friends from elementary school and highschool were all there. We were the best game in town, but it was the first time I have ever drank with my now 21 year old friends, and I had a great time seeing everybody.
All and all, It's great to catch up with family and friends.
