For the next month my family is going to be scattered across the farthest reaches of the country ): Well, not really. Phoebs is going to Colorado for a month to work at some camp, and Mom and Bug are headed up to Denver for the next two weeks to visit our family, then instead of coming straight home they're going to rendezvous in Tyler so I'll see them again on July 3rd. Ashleigh is going to a junior high camp with the church she's interning at so she'll be in Brownwood, Texas for the next week. I'm setting off for Galveston this week for a mission trip with my youth group, and poor Papa will only have dearest Lily for company. It should be said, however, that Lily is exceptionally good company.
Still though, it's going to be weird. Phoebe is gone for a whole month, and my Mom and little brother for two and a half weeks, and Ash lives in Brenham so I wont see her anytime soon either. It'll just be me (after this next week) and the Faj in lonely ol' Tomball. Plus I've already not seen them on a regular basis for a while, because I've been in Brenham this past week with Ash. What a sad little idea. Hm.

Aaaaaaaaaaanywho, Brenham was fun. Met some wonderfully nice people up there. To all those that I met and got to spend time with - except for one of you who annoys the heck out of me-, I salute you. Though I did miss my friends terribly, which was weird, it was only a week. I think the fact that I was known only as "Ashleigh's little sister, Zoe" in Brenham sort of upped the ante on that particular emotion, though. It made me appreciate all the people back here who are my pals because they genuinely like me, and not just because I'm their friend's sister. Absence makes the heart grow stronger, I guess. Still though, it was a good time and a heck of a lot better that sitting in Tomball not doing anything. Oops, I would've been doing something, it was VBS week....my bad, Miss Lynette!
Well....that's it. Rock on into Womanhood people, we know that ya will.
