First a Conclusion (then other stuff)

I need men in my life. They balance out my crazy. I don't get mad at them when I am being absurdly hormonal and completely wretched. 

I just talked to my friend German for 53 whole minutes. He doesn't like talking on the phone so anything over ten is quite a feat. It's also nice to be that person that people go to for advice. Even if I know absolutely nothing. It's kind of awesome, actually. It makes me feel important. He thinks I'm going to bail on him.. Become one of those people that just fades away, friend-wise. 

Oh, honey.. I don't think you know what you've gotten yourself into with a friendship with ME. I-don't-let-go-of-people. And honestly, I don't. Especially ESPECIALLY considering the friendship I have with him. Psh. Crazy man. I don't think he fully knows what he has gotten himself into with me.

I got to talk to Emily today which was nice to catch her before my phone plan kicks the bucket. We talked for a solid chunk of time. I am so grateful for her. But she told me the funniest thing.. Well, not exactly funny ha ha... We were lamenting the fact that it took us so long to be friends. I remember when it happened and it was really just a few months later that she left for home and to put her mission papers in. She told me that before we actually became friends she had heard A LOT about me and I had been highly praised. This made me laugh, a lot. Krista, Angelica, Julia, "The Guys.." She wanted to know what the big deal was. What makes me different from any other person. "Now I know!" She had wanted to be my friend, while she watched Julia and I in cahoots over some such nonsense. It's so funny to hear this. It's just one of those things that I don't comprehend fully. It's like I don't believe people when they tell me these things. What? You think I'm great? Not overly pesty and obnoxious? I don't have to bribe you with baked goods for friendship? Huh. Well, that's awesome. I wonder when that thought process started. 

Hmm. I am also leaving Sierra Vista tomorrow. I have actually fit my life in 2 suitcases, 1 backpack and a purse. BEHOLD MY FRIGGIN GREATNESS! It's strange to think I'm leaving, but I am super excited to be able to hang out with Bekki and her fam before I head off for my next venture. I am ready for the next step. I am not a fan of this limbo land that I am a part of currently. I miss having a job or a task or a purpose. I like those. 

I got to go to Safford today for a quick trip. Mind, I spent a whole week with Colleen last week and it was funny how dead set we both were to have this last day. We didn't do much. It's not like we had the time, but it was really solid and perfect for us. I went to the temple, hung out with Colleen, went to the cottage bakery, which has the best lemon squares.. And went to the bowling alley for burgers. Which was SO good. Good last day bonding with Colleen. She's top notch. I love how excited she is FOR me. 

I got a text from Bekki today with a picture from the facebook page of the Cottage Bakery in Safford AZ. It was a lemon chiffon with lemon curd with a french buttercream frosting. Her text said "how soon can you get this to me." It was a joke. But the joke was on her because she didn't know I was in Safford and I am going to see her tomorrow. So I called. 

"Hey, I'm IN Safford." 

"What??" 

"Yea, I'm at the bakery.. Do you want the cake?"

"Are you serious?" she then added quietly, "how much is it?" 

Long story short.. I have the cake. It's chillin out in the fridge upstairs waiting to go to Bekki's. This ALSO means that when I go to Kohls with my mom tomorrow in Tucson, that I'm going to have to cart the cake around with me because it certainly cant be left in the car.. 

So so funny. 

Must sleep. 7 am comes early.
