yesterday
was a great day because the Dela Cruz’s from Japan are finally back
home, not for good but just to visit. we’ll just have to wait another
year for that to happen. it was nice to see them again though.
everyone’s growing up. time flies so fast. we’re all growing up.
my older cousins are getting older. i’m graduating high
school next year. my little cousin is now half as tall as her
brother and in addition to that, my nephews and neices are growing
up as well. they get bigger and bigger each time i see them, which
makes me sad. i know i shouldn’t, but i guess that’s how i am? it’s
just another thing that makes me realize how i should enjoy life and
the people i love around me as it is while i have the chance. man i
swear i’m so weird.

my
last two weeks of vacation away from home have been simply awesome. I’m
going to miss the cruise to the Caribbean, Florida and Conference in
Ohio, but I’ve also missed home. home as in Maryland. in conclusion, it feels great to be home.
