Hugs
I made a comment to one of my posts below after I started thinking back.
Angela Crout made me think of it. It was hugs. For all the drinkin and smokin that went down, the things that really stand out in my memory are the hugs. I've never been so hugged in my life as those years running around at SK .
People need to hug more I think. I hugged more as an insecure, confused teenaged boy than I do now as a relatively secure, focused post teenaged boy. (I'm still not a man yet! I just can't stop watching the cartoons hahaha)
And that is not easy. Teenaged boys are supposed to be avoiding contact but I remember hugging Quentin and Andrew almost as much as Nichole and Angela.
And Chris Collins was a big hugger too. He would throw down on the shoulder hugs without a blink.
Tami knows I miss all my friends, and she told me if I wanted to move back she would understand.
It was very sweet. She really is wonderfull. I would love for her to get to know everyone I know. You would all love her and she would love you guys. It would just happen. I know it.
But .... we are happy where we are. And excited.
The carpeting is done on the house. We have to grout the tile around the tub in the master bathroom and install the dishwasher but after that we are done and ready to move in.
Then I have to finish the outside. Mainly cleaning the gutters and painting the exterior.
And getting rid of all the construction trash lol.
Quentin said they have raised over 6k for Andrew. That is sooo awesome. I was worried with the way things are economically that they might have a hard time, but everyone loved Andrew.
I should have known better.
Well back to the grindy grind!
I'm glad I brought back good memories for you.
I remember hugs abounding, that is one of my fondest memories also. I am and always was a hugger. I have so many more memories of and with each one of the guys (and girls) that live in my mind daily. When I am having a bad day, I think of you guys and feel better. I want you to know that anything you feel you need to talk about or tell me you can. You and I have made it through messy times and came out still friends or friends again. I regret the time that I felt we were not close. I love the fact that I can call you and talk to you and that I know that I can tell you how much I love and I miss you. I think you would like my husband sarcastic asshole that he is. I would love to meet Tami and your kids. I am rambling now and I will talk to you soon.
When you get moved in it might be time to have people come down to visit. The boys can meet the people who were part of your life when you grew up.
I'll try to make it down there for Aaron's birthday. It's been a long time since I've seen your crew and the crew has changed quite a lot since then.
