Rachel and I went to pick up Raina on Wednesday. It was good to see her again. Sometimes I don’t realize how much I miss people until I see them again. We went with Rachel’s Aunt Janet to pick her up and afterwards went to Su Casa Mexican Restaurant. Then we returned to Janet’s house where she gave us plums, and canned goods. She is a very nice lady. The plums are delicious.

After we got back to Provo, Rachel’s father and sister showed up. They both seem nice, especially considering that her father had just driven 22 hours almost without stopping.

Yesterday Kristin got back. It was good to see her again. She is very funny. Nora got back a few days ago. It’s nice to have all the old gang back together again—even if I’m not really one of them.

I saw Gretchen today (and met her sister Kathy). Now I have nothing to look forward to. Everyone is back, and I don’t want to start school yet. I would like another 2-3 weeks of freedom. Oh well. I suppose I will have to get used to it. I doubt I will have this much freedom once I start working in the real world. If I ever do enter the real world.
