familia...

I miss my family, and I just found my dear friends in Canon Falls (whose blog I do not read often enough), and subsequently I became more homesick. However, Ann's sister and her two kids have been here all week, and even though I'm not getting as much schoolwork done (which is stressing me even more), it is good to see them. They live in New Mexico in a late 1950's schoolbus, and they are soon to be converting a bread truck into a bath-house (not a brothel, but a hippy bathing area). I must hand it to them, they've managed to stay away from what most of us consider real life, and have managed to remain off the grid and under the radar of any governing party for nearly 7 years now. I really respect them for that even though I would never do it, and Lennon who's 10 now and was in our wedding a couple of years back is quite the smart kid. He is constantly reading good books, and Ava (Ann's sister) has been home-schooling him. I'm still not sure about the fact that he doesn't get to hang with other kids, and when he is around them he puts on his headphones and retreats to a different room.

In any case, without getting too sappy, I'm looking forward to graduation next spring and getting back to my family and friends who I also consider family.
