One week down and two to go!!!
July 15, 2007
Ok well it took one week and a very sweet Italian to finally make me break!!! So far it hasn’t been to bad, just waisting time walking around, reading, watching movies, and going to Joshua Tree. Even had a date one day and there was a huge sale at my favorite store yesterday!! but someone can only walk around and eat alone so many times before it starts to get to you. Yesterday i had an Office marathon and watched it from 3pm until 3am!!! Thats insanity!! But whatelse am i to do! i can’t go to JT every night! Anyways it was nice to watch my favorite show and it did make me feel a little better!
So i woke up late this morning and headed to the Cafe that Julia works at during the morning to say hi. Well when i got there she was getting off of work so we were walking out together and talking. She was insistent on us hanging out when she had some time off. Let me just tell everyone that this poor woman works 4 jobs; JT at night, cafe in the morning, toll booth during the day, and psycologists on Wed.!!!! So for her to try and make time for me was just so touching and it hit a cord and i start tearing up!!! NO!!! “Ok, its ok Rebecca you can fight them back, cooly put the sunglasses on and fight them back!” And i did until she started asking “Well what do you do today?” “Um well just uh walk around maybe look around the market” “oh well what do you do later tonight?” “uh well um nothing really!” I lost it! i couldn’t hold it back anymore!!! Poor Julia was like “What is wrong? are you lonely? I’m so sorry i can’t hang out with you” And for anybody who has seen me cry you know what a spectacle it can be! I try to fight it so badly and just make it worst! So here is Julia trying her best to understand my english through hyperventilations!!! She was so sweet! She only had 2 hours before she had to be at her third job and she takes me to lunch! and paid!!! i kept trying to tell her it looks worst than it is, that i was fine! But she was just like its ok!! So it was very sweet but it was hard to get composure becasue it was her kindness to me that was effecting me so much! She was like “i understand i stayed in Belgium for 6 months once, and the first month was all crying!” So i officially love her and she is by far one of the sweetest people i have ever met!! So even though i have bad days i do have people who care here, which is nice! I think i’m gonna go to the beach tomorrow that should help!!! Ok well i will be in Prague in 15 days officially and i will be reunited with Erin in 16!!!! FUN!!!! Miss you guys and love ya’ll!!!!!

Good Morning, Rebecca. Just on my way to work and you are probably sunning yourself on the beach. Thinking about you and praying for you. “bella, bella, bella”, what does that mean? I could probably call your Dad but may get the answer sooner from you. Oops, I forgot you write, I answer on blogs… Oh well, I’ll find out somehow. Take care and have fun, only 14/15 days to go, but who is counting. Much love, GP
It makes me cry to think of you crying like that, kinda like the first time you called and we both couldn’t stop or when I hugged you good bye. Just thing how much fun it will be when you finally get to see Erin. Just remember we are just a phone call away. I love and miss you.

Becky, it was so good to hear your voice yesterday, but just know you are not alone when it comes to crying. I think a lot of it has been done lately. Oscar is fine and no he is not getting fat, he is just a very content kitty. I am going to a going away party for Erin saturday so you will have family soon. Take care and know that we all love you and miss you very much. I think even PaPa is reading your blogs now so keep them coming. Everyone looks forward to them. Love MaMa
Becs, give me a call if things get intense again. Just remember the amazing stories and experiences you are making and giving yourself. I could only imagine! These blogs remind me of stories I would hear from my dads travels, and you know how much I respected that. You are amazing and it will be worth it in the end! I miss ya, cant wait to have you back to do all our Tampa culture!
