I planned on writing while I was in NY, but with Grandma & Grandpa's dial-up connection, I was forced to limit my internet fun (this also explains why I didnt comment anyone back).
And now for the highlights of the trip:
-Grandma's homemade lasagna, cookies, pies and more
-Keuka lake trip with the fam - especially the campfire and music by Andy & Abby
-Cousin's night at Maple Bowl...I'm the newest Hunter Hero according to Pro Buck Hunter - the arcade game. Be afraid. And then the bowling and karaoke to follow. Remember the Macarena? Oh yes.
-Sneaking ice cream with Mom & Mary minutes before having dinner with G & G. Yummm.
-Corning Glass Museum was also fun (until the last hour or so of waiting around) while Mom shopped.
It was somewhat bittersweet because as each vacation day passed, I knew that I was that much closer to having to move away. I've really been struggling with the thought of leaving everyone behind. As much as I agonized over having to share the tiny, creaky double bed with Mary, I knew that it'd be another year before I'd get to share a room with her and in 10 days I'll be seven hours away from her and miserable.
I'm already making plans for future visits home, but I know the first few months will be a struggle for me. I will miss everything about this place. And, of course, all of your beautiful faces.

You are going to make me cry... except ice cream before dinner, which makes me so excited!! I am so proud of you for moving, I am so happy you did it because I never really saw you doing something like that. Yet, I think you will love it, and be great at it!!! You make friends easily and everyone loves you. So much so, you'll probably never want to come home!!
I echo Jen here! You are an amazing person Anna - you are lively and fun, and people are naturally draw to you! You'll make tons of new friends in a jiffy! And I know you are going to grow as a writer doing this! Think of all the new material you'll have!You are on your way to living your dream! I will miss you in a huge way - but never fear - were only about 40 tomatoe trucks away from a visit!
