As I wrap up my time at home I realize how true the cliche is: you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Being home, being with friends, being with family, being at Simon and Jude, it all makes me realize how much I really have here and how little I really have in Dayton. I keep telling myself, "one more year, one more year . . . " Things have not been easy in Ohio, I do not fit into the midwestern world as much as I imagined I would. My eastcoastness has become most evident to me and the illusion of friends has faded. The thing is . . . my friends from West Chester could not be more opposite than we already are . . . yet it works! Not only does it work but they are the most valuable friendships I have ever had! Andrea, Brian, Christine, Fr. Sam, Katie, Lisa, Maria, Michelle, Tim . . . you all mean the world to me! Thank you for loving me for all I am as a person, whether to you that is too conservative, too liberal or just plain NUTS!
The good news is I only have a couple weeks and then I am home for a month . . . in which I fully intend on having that Murder Mystery Dinner Party! So until then, I will pray for you if you will pray for me!

Well, like you said...the good news is being in Ohio is only a temporary deal and you are almost through year one. Looking forward to seeing you in May!
P.S. Did you intend to list all your friend in alphabetical order...just wondering. :)
Yes, I put them in alphabetical order so as not to offend anyone! Hee hee. . . just being over cautious I suppose! I just love you all!
