i have to admit that i have been a little homesick for silk grass lately. but luckily this morning i was blessed with a little taste of my old home. i was awaken early this morning from a pleasant dream where i was being reunited with a long lost friend. outside my window i could hear this. (oh, now i am talking about what really happened, not my dream.) "GET OUT OF MY YARD!" "Brodie STOP. STOP IT! GET OVER HERE!" "What do you have?? A BALL!? my kids don't get balls! MY KIDS AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE THOSE!!" first of all. what the crap? and after i wrote it, i realized it sounds a little weird. but to be honest, i have to say that it gave me such a sense of peace to hear screaming outside my window in the early hours. so to that mom with weird restrictions, thank you. and to all the loud kids and crying babies in silk grass in a weird, but not creepy way, i miss you.
but i'm not crying. my eyes are just a little bit sweaty today.
*miss silk grass is supposed to be a pun. get it ? like the pageant, and i miss it. and i am sorry that i am explaining my joke.

Oh Ash,
Does that mean you are back in town? (meaning SLC). I want to talk to you. When are you going to get a dog so Alta can have a friend?
You didn't have to explain the joke to me. Pageant season is just around the corner and the country is gearing up! I LOVE the picture! Adrianne says she feels sorry for the first black person I meet when I get home. They are not going to understand why I am throwing my arms around them. :) Miss you!
We're looking forward to the bunt! Glad you're back in town. If they need an american entrant, I've got the right dimensions!
I'm sorry you "miss" silk grass, but I am selfish and am glad your back. Let me know if you would like me to cry and scream outside your window in the wee hours of the morning. I would be happy to do it. It sounds like crazy neighbor mom might have you covered though. Want to do something this next week?
Smashli. Oh how I have missed you. I saw your post on my blog and my email is: michmons38@gmail.com
I can't believe you are back. Makes me feel like I should be done with Iowa--but I still have 2 years. Boo.
I want to talk to you. Hope you know that I have been faithfully reading your blog and missing you.
What are you doing now?
Thanks for sharing.
