I hadn't seen Sarah for over a year, selfishly forsaking her for the allure of the foreign experience. Seeing her again, brought back a rush of memories and sparked our friendship back into life. I didn't forget, but I didn't remember either how much I love this girl.
We headed south to her hometown for a day. I had spent a Thanksgiving in Litchfield with her family a few years ago, and had a blast in this rural small town. Her family and friends are just amazing; it was wonderful to see them again. Plus, there was a wedding going on! Who doesn't love weddings?
Later, we headed to the towns Thanksgiving Bingo Night. There's an indication of a 'Cake Raffle' somewhere in that title, but it escapes me. The cake raffle was first; for each cake, 40 tickets were sold for a quarter. The giant Cake Wheel was spun, and the winner claimed their cake. Now, this might seem a bit mundane to you, but, rest assured, the tension was running high during this activity. I had to check myself a couple to times after getting much too excited and knocking several different items over. I was ecstatic when I won a delicious cake, made by none other than Sarah! Score!
Next was bingo, played for prizes of hams and turkeys. So much fun I had to play two boards.
That night, we hit the town. Dance, Dance, and then some.
Since this weekend, we've talked on the phone almost everyday. She's coming to visit me and my Chicago life in a few weeks in January. I absolutely cannot wait.
