Tonight was a fun night. Around 7:00 we were visited by old friends of the family. I haven't seen them in about 8 years it was crazy!! Yvonne looked the exact same (well, I had seen her last year when she visited my moms new house), but Joey and Amanda... wow they look very different...

Joey, the once energetic, talkative, never-shuts-up Joey now only speaks when spoken to. He has turned into a very shy guy and the way he speaks... its just so peaceful... if anyone I know has found their nirvana, it is definitely him. His nirvana is living out of his van with his dog travelling all across Arizona doing odd jobs... crazy stuff but he loves it. I can only aspire to be as happy as him when my college career is over.

Amanda... the little girl that I sometimes took care of has grown into a beautiful young woman who is now in her sophomore year of highschool and keeping up with soccer!! Apparently she is quite the player, which is amazing considering we thought she would never walk again after that horrible accident on Valentines Day 10 years ago. She is also very quiet and doesn't speak much. She has the same quiet voice as ever and the same amazing smile.

What did we do? We just talked for about 2 hours. I said about 3 things, I felt like such a loser... I noticed I have begun to revert back to my shy stage that I was in about 4 years ago. Theres really no reason for my reversion, I guess I have just run out of things to say... So I now have 2 new years resolutions... one is to talk more and participate in conversations with my fellow human beings... and the other one, well... that one is a secret.

All in all it was a good day. It was great to see old friends and catch up.
