Back from Houston

[ceitfianna]

Well I'm back from a wonderful couple of days with Erin in Houston, which is a strange city full of sprawl, but I had a wonderful time. Spending time with Erin was wonderful, we went to the Houston Zoo, Galveston, and spent a day watching all the Lord of the Rings movies. But most importantly we just spent time talking and being together and I feel so lucky to still be friends with Erin since she's generous and wonderful and my oldest friend. Today was just travel back, not too fun especially being greeted with my check back from BUNAC because I sent the money in the wrong form. So I had a bit of a bad moment, then I realized, its an easy mistake that's easily fixed and since I sent in my application nice and early its not that big a problem. I just feel worn out due to traveling, leaving my best friend, not enough food or sleep and this fear that somehow my chance to go to New Zealand would dissapear, which it won't. Now I'm just resting and letting the stress run out of my body and tommorow I go in to work and then I'm not quite sure what for this weekend. But life is good though really tough when your oldest friend lives in Houston. But I'll see her again soon and overall life is good just busy since we crammed a lot of living into a couple of days. Now to rest and not think too much but reflect on some wonderful days and I feel so grateful to be still be friends with Erin especially since our moms met when they were pregnant and with moving and high school and college and Europe, we're still friends. I feel very lucky for that. But sadly I'm worn out since lots of traveling and just spending time and doing a lot but also lots of time just being which is what counts with a friend. To be able to just be with them, also being able to shop, cook and travel helps too. :-) Okay, I think that's all for now, I feel like I'm rambling, but I'm still kind of emotional and drained so that's why.
