I HAD A BIG SURPRISE WHEN I WALKER THROUGH THE DOOR TONIGHT.........
I had been at an appointment with my herbalist late thisafternoon so I got home about 5:00pm. There was a white car parked in front of the house that I didn't recognise. Then as I was walking up to the front door a little black VW pulled in behind the Geo. When I walked in the house there in the living room with Shane was his brother Jim. Jim and his 2 kids just returned home in November from Iraq. They were there with the 116th National Guard unit from here in Idaho.
The person behind me was Ashley, Emily's Friend. She already had Kara here working on a School project. A little bit later here came Phillip home from work. Shortly there after, Cody Phillips friend showed up, then not to long after that Jake, my nephew showed up. What a crazy household.
We sat and talked to Jim until almost 9:00pm he kept saying that he really needed to get going, his step daughter lives out in Nampa and she was supposed to fix dinner for him. He just couldn't quit talking! Jim holds a really special place in my heart. So it was so great having him here for just a little while. Charlotte his step daughter called shortly after he left wanting to know if he was here. She was worried about him Getting lost in the big city! I just had to laugh.
Phillip bought us some sandwiches for dinner. Since we hadn't had a chance to eat and just talked all evening. I just couldn't tear myself away and be isolated in the kitchen fixing dinner while Shane and Jim were visiting. The thing that I miss the most about being here in the Boise area and not back home is the evenings, holidays, Sunday afternoons etc spent with family. I wish that I could get the families all to move over here with us.
