So after getting more sleep than I have in the last 8 weeks, I was finally feeling better and my parents were in town for parents weekend. Friday night after they brought me some much needed groceries, we went over to Mary's Pizza Shack (best pizza in Sonoma County, fyi) and had pizza and pesto breadsticks. Then I managed to sneak in a quick trip to Target. Somewhere in there my parents realized that I am not kidding when I say it's FREEZING here, so they bought me an electric blanket (YAY!). Saturday was filled with random little adventures... From bike stores and the mall, to model homes and furniture shopping; we finished off our day with dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Santa Rosa with Jenna, Liz, and their parents. This morning my parents went to church while I volunteered then we all went to dim sum.
After breakfast I had to say goodbye to my parents, and even though I know I'm going to see them next weekend, it was really sad knowing they were going home without me. I don't know why it was so weird because I really haven't been living with them for the last 2 months, but I guess it's one of those things that I'll never really get used to until I move out for good. For now I'm still the type of girl who has to call her mom more than once a day and still wants to be filled in on everything at home; at this point I really don't see that changing anytime soon. Even after what has seemed like forever, I miss home... Obviously not enough to pack up right now and transfer to Fresno State (NO WAY!!). I love it here, but nothing beats home (:

You made me remember the time I wept, watching my parents leave. We had breakfast and then went to the gas station because they wanted to fill up the car for me. They pulled out and as I watched them merge onto Highway 99 I cried. This was back in Bakersfield when I was working as an anchor and reporter, already out of school. It can happen no matter our age or place in life. It's good, though, because it shows just how big a part of home they play in our heart, always.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you this weekend, Erika. The boys and I will be at the fair Saturday.
Peace, Kim
