I'm so happy!

My friend, Alicia, came over to visit me yesterday. She lives in Florida, but she and her boyfriend were up in Akron visiting his family for a reunion or something, and, since she was so close, they stopped by so she could spend time with me and my family.

I'm so happy that I got to see her. It's been over a year since I last saw her, and that's a long time, if you consider that we went four years seeing each other every day!

The only thing I wish was different was the amount of time we had together. We had less than one day to catch up on a year's worth of life. Actually, it was less than that, because she also had to catch up with my parents, whom she hadn't seen in over two years. I had to get up really early this morning, so I was gone before they woke up ( I could have woken them up with me so that I could have said good-bye, but I figured that they really needed the sleep since they had a three and a half hour drive back to Akron and then they had to catch a plane at 5).

I really wish that she and I could spend more time together! Don't get me wrong, I love my friends up here, but they all have a past together that I don't share with them, so it's hard for me, and I just wish that I could have someone close who has shared part of my past with me.
