7hrs Away

My dear friends Firl and Robert live 7hrs away in Gilroy. Gilroy is also home to the world famous Garlic Festival. Firl and Rob come visit us on fun holidays like Halloween and most recently, the 4th of July. Everyone anticipates their visits with much excitement and impatience.

The moment they get here, everything feels right. Especially with Firl. You see, Firl moved back to Gilroy a few years ago.(Sadness) Leaving an empty hole in the suite 26 family. Things were a lot quieter. There was less laughter. We love and miss Firl's laugh so much that Ace often will play this recording of Firl laughing her ass off. That recording makes everyone smile.

With Firl gone, we were 1 girl less. The guys out number girls in suite 26. I frequently find myself as the lone chick at times. The butt of " that's what she said " nonsense. I miss my girl time with Firl. But I do have Lisa and Lou thank goodness!

As I was saying, everything feels right again when Firl is in town. I love how we pick up from where we left off. No awkwardness. No silence. No weirdness at all. Its like Firl and Rob are the missing pieces to our puzzle. When there gone, we don't feel whole. When there here, we're a whole again.

Everyone is much happier when Firl is back " home " with us. Everyone is in better moods and are up for any adventures to come our way. I guess we appreciate each other's company much more when we are together as a whole.

I wish awesome friends like Firl, Rob and Lelanie lived in SD with me. I try to surround myself with good friends on an every day basis. Life is too short to allow jackasses to be part of your personal life.

I miss my friends that live 7hrs away so much. Now, if I can only get them to move to SD faster, all will be right again. Or find a hookup from southwest and fly them down every weekend. Haha.
