I guess I was feeling a little bit homesick for Idaho this weekend because I decided that I did not want to go to any more cities. I was thinking about going camping, but I found out that the camping that I have in my mind is not anything like the camping they have here in California. So I just went for a couple day hikes in the state park just north of here. Two day hikes in three days... I might just be turning into my dad! Actually, I kinda felt like riding a horse this weekend.

Its ironic, but the more I explore, it seems the more that I appreciate what I have. For instance, last summer I went to be a counselor at the bible camp in Alaska. You may not know the difference, but Catholics and Fundamentalist Protestants (AKA non denominational Christians) differ on quite a few things, and it wasn't until after that that my Catholic faith really took off. This summer, I leave Idaho and Amaris, and I realize two things. One, that I really like Idaho, even though it is podunk and all. Two, is that I really love Amaris. I guess you don't know what you got until it is gone. Lucky for me is that I get to have it all back soon :).

Even though I love Idaho and everything, I still love traveling all over. After my internship, I will take my time getting back to Idaho, and probably even get to go to a wedding of a friend from Auggie's (and she is getting married the week after I get done here, and she is doing it on the California-Mexico border... perfect). But I guess I am doing the roadtrip solo. My brother can't come, all of my friends are working, a few of my church friends who were considering it are also working, and Amaris is already taking time off from work to see her family (and more later to see me at home). Damn you and your summer jobs *shakes fist*.

I am feeling really antsy right now. I want to go to Europe all of a sudden, and I was so close on Friday to buying a ticket to Hawaii that same day. Sigh.
