Say won't you Say

Making memories to the very end

We left yesterday around noon to start our journey to the airport. We started out over at Fashion Island and did a little shopping and grabbed some lunch and then headed north towards LA. We went over to Hollywood Blvd. to look at all the stars and handprints at the Chinese Theater and all of that business, I hadnt seen all of that since I was like 7 years old so, while we all looked super touristy, I really enjoyed it. We went and had dinner at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip! There was no show, but the music lover inside of me felt super cool just being there, and as it would turn out my beloved Howie Day had played there just a couple of days before! It was a good time. Then we went to this outdoor shopping center called The Grove, it was so awesome, they had this huge fountain in the middle that every 30 minutes would play music and had a water show with lights and would shoot water up really high and it was almost like a dance routine but with water! It was sweet and quite the attraction there! We got some coffee and then at about 10:30 it was time to head for the airport.

Zach's flight was at 12:35 and we got there with very little time to spare. I had been pretty good all day just trying to enjoy spending time with Zach, and then as we drove up to the airport Dawn and I looked at each other and started to lose it. It was such a fun day and we kept it light all day and just laughed alot and talked about lots of fun memories from the summer. Finally it was time to say goodbye we all hugged him and watched him go up the escaldor and he waved to us the whole way up until we couldnt see him anymore. I held most of it in until he couldnt see us anymore and then I just lost it. It was so sad getting in the car and coming back here without him. When we got into the car we saw that he had written each of us notes. Fitting that my note was half sentimental and half really funny. Needless to say I was crying more after that. I am just aweful with goodbyes, esspecially when there is no guarantee when or if you will see them again. I just wish that these goodbyes here werent dragged out throughout the span of a whole week.

I'm off to enjoy the beach today and doing a little last minute shopping and such. Tonight my Action group is going to dinner and having our last meeting together. My roomate Kristi is leaving tomm morning at 5am so I'm going to try and pull an allnighter and hang with her till she leaves. Should be fun, I am learning how to function on very little sleep, but i'm not gonna lie it will be great when I finally have my own bed back and can get a full night of sleep and get into a normal routine again. Much Love from Beautiful Orange County California!
