Monday (3-4-13) When I woke up on Monday, Momma B wanted to take me to go see her brother (my new uncle) who lived in North Ogden. The whole way, Her and Jayden kept telling me that he didn't like to talk much and to not be offended if he doesn't say much of anything. I'm not a huge talker so naturally I was nervous that it was going to be a huuge Akwardfest. We got to his house, he let us, and then he started talking about anything and everything haha. For not liking to talk much he sure had a big set of lungs on him. It was awesome. He asked me questions and just made me feel comfortable bein around him which is pretty hard to do. We talked for a little bit then set off to pick up Dustin from the house and got meet Talon and his friend Jason at Burger Bar for lunch since I had never been there. It was so freakin good. I you ever go to the area, check it out. AFter lunch, Talon went with his friend to help him move into his new apartment, so Momma B, Dustin, Jayden and I took off. Jayden had been talking about these Rootbeer shakes from a certain place so we went over that way to get one. On the way, Momma B showed me where they used to live and it was really cool seeing just again proof of how close we had been for 21 years :). After we got the shakes and drinks and the gas station, we went back to the house to BS the rest of the night. On our way, Grandma called us and wanted to meet us there to hangout and say goodbye since I flew out in the morning. We all hung out at the house for a bit but Grandma had to leave after a bit (not before helping me beat some levels on a game I was stuck on on my phone lol). We said goodbye again for the last time and she left. We wanted to put all of the pictures we had taken onto flash drives so we could both have a copy of them. Only problem was, I didn't own a Flash drive. So Dustin being the awesome guy he is, offered to drive me to walmart and buy me my own flash Drive. He convinced me it was okay saying they needed some anyways haha. We got back to the house and he started downloading all the pictures onto the Flash for me. By that time, Talon had come home from work and so we talked for a little bit longer. But too soon, it was time for me to say goodbye to everyone :'( that was one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I gave Talon and Jayden a hug goodbye. Jayden was starting to cry and when I looked at Talon his eyes were getting watery which of course made me start to water up so I decided I had to leave now or I would never leave. I said goodbye one last time and went to get in Momma B's car. It was a semi quiet drive back to my house. We made light conversation but we could feel the goodbye in the air. It was terrible. I got back to the house and ran inside to grab something for Momma B. I walked up to her and we gave eachother a big hug. She told me how much she was going to miss me and all too soon we had to stop. Dustin had driven us and he came over and gave me a hug. I told him how awesome it was to meet him and I looked forward to seeing them all again. I looked back as Momma B got in the car and she started to cry as they pulled away. I made it into the house and was almost too my room when it finally sank it that I wasn't going to see them again for a while. I couldn't hold it back anymore and I started bawling, I'm not a crier so it kind of scared me. I went into Momma A's room where she was sleeping and woke her up. She gave me a hug and sat with me until I was cried out. By that time, my sister Rachel had come in and she gave me a hug and it made me feel a bit better. I sat there for a little longer then i let Momma A get back to sleep and I went to my room. I laid down and slowly dozed off to sleep thinking back on what an amazing experience this had been and wishing it could have been longer. One week is not nearly enough time to get to know a whole new family.
