A room all to myself, with no one to kick me out.
A bathroom to myself, with hair that belongs only to me.
REAL food!
A vehicle that is not only available once in a while and will take me where it is I truly need to go!
A blessing in disguise?
I realized today that my time at home will be brief. Time to spend with friends and family quickly passes as my trip to Cuba nears. Today marks 12 days until my trip, however, due to the 3 days I will be spending at Winter Camp, my time at home lessens.
This doesn't bother me to any great extent, as I have discovered that those who once wanted to spend time with me (and I with them), have found bigger and better things. Things change, as do people, it is a part of living and growing. Sure it hurts, but I've found that by distancing yourself from people before reaching this point of breaking... helps to numb the pain.
Of course this proves to be a difficult task when it is someone you love.
Cuba will be an adventure, new people (other than my 16 extra family members), new sites and new experiences. It is times like these I feel as if i am destined to live the life of a gypsy, continual traveling with little contact with people other than the casual greeting. Would life be any better?

sometimes i wish I could see those moments coming so I could prepare the numbing farther in advance. And sometime I try to numb to early and realise the friendship aint going anywhere. Thats you darling. you and me are going no where.... except dawson... and many dryden... and maybe lloyd again? lol Love and misses
after monday i learned that while you've broken ties with old friends...there will still be those moments where it's great to see them...and if it's someone you love then you'll never be without them
Mmmm...I do hope that I am not one of those whith whom you find youself distancing. For although I am far away and it has been two and a half years since we have been together I still love you:o)Have I told you how much I miss you lately? I was just thinking about the time you, Katie, Amber and Alyssa came out to see me when I was at camp during work teams....That was really special and I hold it as a fond memory. I remember it was Victoria day.....We had bean soup for lunch, i was cleaning kitchen cabinets in the Jabe when you arrived and it was Joann Janzen who announced your arrival and freed me from my duties that I might spend some precious time with you all. We played skip-bo in the Holiday....Just one of my many wonderful thoughts of you:o) I do hope you have a wonderful time in Cuba, you must tell me about it when you return! I miss you Lauren....Do think of me when you go to winter camp and know that I am praying for you and wising every moment that I could also be there...
My love always
LAURENNN!!!
