big day. first post.

the fam had dinner at famous dave's last night. dad likes to get down with their barbacoa. kristin and mason came, and kristin referred to it as the last supper. i don't know how i feel about that title.



i stayed up all night to finish packing, and i was still awake when mom left at 5am today. she has a quiznos convention in philly.

i heard mom walking around. i thought she was eating breakfast and that i would have time to say goodbye. so i was confused when i heard the front door open and close. she was halfway down the driveway when i caught up to her. i yelled to her from the front door and accused her of trying to leave without saying bye to me. she came back and hugged me and told me to be careful in spain. but i couldn't look her in the eye b/c i love her so much and i didn't want to say bye.

i hope that she takes better care of herself this year and takes more time out to enjoy herself. i want to kiss her when i get back to the states.

one of those happy kisses you give people when you haven't seen them for a long time. the kind that leaves lipstick imprints. though, i suppose i should first start wearing lipstick.

my mom is cute and i adore her.
