I was on my way to Holladay, but I stopped to drop my sister off at the Roberts, and of course Jeremy popped his head out the door and yelled, "Hey, do you have like five minutes?" and I said yes, knowing that it wouldn't be five minutes, and I'd probably end up standing in their hall way where he would ask me something like, "Does this watch make me look fat?"

But when I walked in the door, he was on the computer, jamming to Van Halen for reasons unknown, and Aimee was on her computer, smiling at me. Jeremy never gets to the point before he offers you a drink and possibly something to eat. (I think that is a really good characteristic to have) And even after you have a drink, he probably still won't get to the point for a good forty five minutes. And so we sat around listening to music until Aimee finally got to the point for him. She needed some help picking music for her slide show for Ladies' Night, and help finding pictures. So we worked on that for a bit, and ate popcorn, and just had fun like we did in the old days when we had subtle parties. Noah waltzed through the room wearing a prom dress with Sophie, and then five minutes later was walking up the stairs wearing only underpants. Bowl of icecream in his hands. The small things in life.
"It's really good to see you," Aimee told me, and it was really genuine. And I realized, after these few days of reminiscing, that even when you leave your old life behind, its always waiting for you with open arms if it was any good in the first place.

i love Noah...and i used to prance around in my mom's dresses when i was like 5. and i'm sad to say that i did not in fact write that last blog...it's a song by anberlin that has made me rethink a lot of things-directions in my life worth changing.
