Feeling the Love

I went back to Colorado Springs/Falcon this weekend and was greeted so warmly it was overwhelming. Some people like "Uncle Dan" weren't as nice as they could be, but I could tell they all missed me. He reminds me of my real uncle, Uncle Bill. They are both sarcastic and love to joke around. Though I was only gone a week, Sue practically jumped on me when she saw me on her lawn Saturday morning. "You came! You came!" she shouted.

The card party was fun as always and they all wanted to hear about my first week in Denver. I was happy to be with my other family and share my experiences such as getting a bit lost and trying to find the rest of the items I needed to get my started on this life on my own. While I'm not completely financially independent yet, I am proud of how far I've come and been able to manage money and be my own person. Dona and Mrs. Wulf taught me how to play Mexican Train, which honestly is so difficult to learn at first. When the Wulfs had taught me Head and Foot, my mind was on play and rewind at the same time. Like anything new, it takes time to learn and to get the hang of it. Will have to continue playing if I want to get good at it like I am at Dutch Blitz.

At church, everyone was so surprised to see me. (I think I like surprising people). The looks on their faces are priceless and it always feels good to be loved. After going through four years in high school feeling like I didn't matter, this is a great change. I'm glad I held on and overcame adversity. I will surely miss them as I already do. I hope the next church I choose will become another family.
