This week has been incredible. A time in my life that I will always remember.
My brother, John, and my his wife/my sister-in-law, who are stationed by the U.S Air Force in England, came into town last Friday.
We spent all week doing St. Louis things such as going to Union Station to watch those genius' make delicious fudge at the fudgery, to getting "belly bombers" aka White Castles at 2am.
Sometimes when you live here it's easy to forget all the great things about this city.
There are so many diverse neighborhoods, so many amazing family owned restaurants and touristy attractions that can still be fun if you live here. I mean, who doesn't love hanging out at the Arch riverfront every once in a while?
And to think of how much the city has grown and improved, it's unbelievable.
I not only loved that aspect of this week, but also the family time I got to take part. It was so nice to just have a girl's night in, or a night of barbeque and Ted Drew's and be with people I really care about.
Today was the most extravagant day of all, graduation day. I finally felt jittery and nervous. Ready, but timid. John and Jessica left, everyone else in the world came. It was a little overwheming at times, but really great. It feels good to have so many people proud of you for completing something. I have had so much support over the past four years, and it really showed at this party. I mean, even if people could only stop by to say hi and leave, they stopped by and came in. It said a lot for me. It meant much more valuable than the money and gifts that I recieved.
The night ended with a trip to Walmart with my sister that lasted about an hour to get two things that we picked out in the first ten minutes. Ridiculous! I feel as if they should definitely hold their employees to a higher standard and get some organization in that place. It's a mad house.
Now I'm going to pass out.
'Till next time.
Love,
One of the newest college freshmen
