travis' brain dump

Well… I’m back. Honestly, that’s about all I can say seeing as how I’m left with this slight empty feeling being back here. I’m not sure if it’s just the fact I’m not in Mexico anymore or if it’s the loss of such wonderful company… I’m thinking both but more so the company though, but I only have to wait a few weeks for a fix there, lol. It’s not all negative, just that slight empty feeling… but that’s okay, there is much more happiness and hope than anything.

First I want to thank the Johnson’s again for having Arwen and I down. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your hospitality and for making Arwen and I feel like part of the family. We both enjoyed ourselves very much. You are all truly amazing and I am blessed to know each and every one of you. I hope to see you all again soon as I’m already missing you guys very much. You guys rock! 🙂

The rest of the trip was just as great as the first part, especially since I had no more run-ins with the law. LOL Later Saturday, after the whole events of the morning fun with the police, Amanda, Becca, myself and their parents went up to Casas to do some shopping. Again, glad that trip was in their car and not the policia’s!! While there I got to check out the market and see a little of the city and more of the countryside during the day. An amazing site if you ask me, I was quite taken with everything. I took some pictures that I’ll post up later in the photo gallery (http://travis.ginetx.net/gallery/v/tsarbin-album1/2007/). It was a lot of fun.

After we got back we just chilled out and watched a movie then went up to the hamburger stand to get some burgers and potatoes. SOOOO good. I wasn’t feeling that well, but you bet I still ate. haha. Nothing a little pepto and mind over nausea can’t handle! haha The rest of the night went pretty calm as we finished up the movie and ended up sitting up until around 1:30 in the morning talking. Sunday morning rolled around and we all headed over to church. I remember taking in views one last time and thinking to myself I would most definitely have to return one day. After church we headed over for a big dinner/lunch gathering and had some awesome food. It was good to see so many family members just visting, talking and interacting with them. Everyone was just so wondeful. Sadly, afterwards it was time to say goodbye and head back north.  I remember on the drive up thinking to myself how much I will most definitely miss that place and look forward to hopefully going back there in August if everything works out. I can’t wait.  

So, today at work, I don’t really have much on my list to do, just some mop up from the weekend. I sit here and reflect on the trip and everything that has come out of it. I have to say this has been one of the best weeks of my life and has helped me to realize a lot of things that I would have otherwise overlooked, especially where things like my family are concerned. I also have a whole new appreciation and hope for where mine is going and look forward to the future with much anticipation rather than fear and doubt. 😉

I probably won’t be making a lot of contact with people over the next day… still really tired and still taking some things in, so don’t take it personal.
