Vacation

I was in Michigan from the morning of the 24th to the afternoon of the 28th (hence my lack of posting during that time) and had a great time despite the generally crappy weather. When I first landed in Detroit and saw snow everywhere and piled high I realized it wouldn't be that hard for me to fly back to LA.

When I left the airport and my family drove me home it felt like I'd only been gone a couple days. Everything was how I remembered it, even the cold, wintry weather. One of the first comments I made to my family was how we should look into having Christmas on the west coast next year due to the much better weather.

I went to church that evening where I ran into a couple people I knew from high school including Erin, my date for senior prom. It was a rather awkward interaction given that we hadn't spoken to each other in a year or two if not longer and we attempted to play catch up as she slid past me down the pew with her family right behind her. It was nice seeing her but after she slid past me I didn't talk to her the rest of the service and that didn't bother me.

It's by no means anything against her. She's an awesome person, but it's that I was with my family amd she was with hers.I was more focused on conversing with my parents, Sara and Tom. I was back to see those truly close to me (and also the people who still put up with me and my shenanigans. I would've conversed with Steph as well but she didn't go to Church. Silly Buddhist) and wasn't going to worry so much about people I randomly crossed paths with.

When I saw my close friends that I wanted to we ate at Vitale's and it was good. I haven't found a pizza place out here yet that's equal in the quality of the pizza. It was nice swapping stories and seeing how everyone's been fairing in their own lives.

I've concluded Eric needs to come visit the west coast. He seems miserable being a flight instructor in Kalamazoo and the sunshine out here would be good for him. Plus all the potential "unicorns" for him to creep on. He's very good at that.

p.s. Sorry this post seemed kinda boring, I'll try and spice it up later on.
