#trailerlyfe: Two double wide, white trash trailers, gravel parking lot with not nearly enough space, bunk beds galore, 2 bathrooms for 16 girls (trailer bathrooms, mind you), guitars everywhere, messy dishes, dirty clothes covering the floor, HAIR EVERYWHERE, mice, mice poop, mice scratching in the walls, no AC, granola bar wrappers littering entire surfaces, thorns (aka goat-heads) camouflaged in the carpets, and some of the most top-notch people I think I'll ever meet.
And now they're all gone.
It's just me.
I told Joe Rooney, the guy that lives in a camper behind the boys trailer, that if he hears screaming I'm either getting murdered or kidnapped, and I expect him to come to my aid. I'm sure he'll come charging in full speed on the fork lift, ready to fight any intruders with shop tools. That brings some comfort to my poor {scared of the dark/murderers/kidnappers/

Last night it was just Steph and me. After she recovered from her migrane, and I recovered from my small breakdown about not being able to teach the first lesson (mission prep), we had a good chat about growing up, life, and heaven forbid, boys. Boys boys boys. We consoled our wounded souls by playing MASH and I am thrilled and excited for my future. We were going to MASH up everyone in the girls trailer and hang up the papers everywhere, but we only got to doing 3 people before we decided it was going to take too long.
I realized today that it's my last time to dress up for Halloween for a while. I didn't really ever catch the Halloween drift again after 6th grade when I was a hobo. So today I dressed up as a cowgirl, and went all out. We're talkin hat, boots, glitzy show belt, the whole tortilla. Several people commented about my nice hat and belt, and then these two EXTREMELY attractive UK boys my age came in and scoffed at how funny it is we Americans still take Halloween seriously. I quickly changed the subject to rugby.
May you have the happiest of Halloweens my loves
I MISS YOU. And, you make a great little cowgirl (:
