VDC was amazing. We had an awesome music team of super talented musicians who worked so well togther. An amazing team of mostly drama free good time and awesome "pilgrims" who recieved and overflowed. I got to know some people a whole lot better and got to hang with some of my favorite people in the world. I was telling andrew on the way back down the mountain that I wish I could build a community where we all could live and work in the same area all the time! I hate that Bakersfield is so far away! Which brings up another thing I've been thinking about. I'm forever cursed to miss someone! It's either my friends and "family" in Bakersfield and surrounding areas or it's my friends and family here! If I moved to bako again Id be heartbroken to leave some of the amazing people in my life like lisa or George and jazz. I just can't imagine life without them but then I think about it and I miss my bakesfield friends like Brent and katie and Micah and haley soooo much! It was nice to see them the other day but of course it was way too short of a time with them! I have to say it's quite the catch 22.. Part of it is that my mom and dad and grandparents are here but haileys other family and her dad are there.. It's hard because I want her to have them in her life too. Ugh. It's so hard. Anyway. I finally made the decision and little rose will be starting kindergarten next year! Augh!!! I can't believe my little girl is going to start school! It honestly feels like just yesterday she learned how to walk and talk and smile and laugh and now she's lost her baby face and she's ready to start big girl school.. Augh!!! They really do grow up way too fast. Okay. I'm done before I cry!
