I know there are a bunch of people I'll be mentioning that I haven't seen in years, but you also assume one more hurrah until it's officially over.. and sadly that time has come. I won't be returning to the west anytime soon. Knowing my work history, it's unlikely I'll get a vacation ever again, but who knows what the future holds? For now, this is officially good bye from me, to a few wonderful people that I've shared some great memories with that I shall never forget!
Schason Jefferis
- You are the first friend I made out west lol. I was working at a plastics manufacturer when I left Pennsylvania the first time. My mother and I transfered to Phoenix in 2005 and she had to hire someone to work under her. Enter Schason. She became my sidekick of food runs, because her, my mother, and I all had our bad junk food habits lol. Our travels took us to every fast food place imaginable. Sonic, where we ordered a ton of food, and right at the end I ordered one hot dog, plain with just ketchup, and that totally confused the clerk. Or an asian food place where, and I still believe, there was a cup of urine behind the entry door. I am sure there are many more funny quirks we went through as well! I'll miss ya! You have a wonderful family of your own now and I wish you all the best!
Scott Walter
- You're the first great friend I made when I left the east coast in 2007. We met on a website he created for musicians in phoenix to hook up and start bands. One of the most impressive and talented musicians I have ever had the privelage to take a stage or sit in a small room jamming out with! It seems like yesterday that we were having the weekly open mic at the coffee bean. I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you got married and I wish you well! You and Jenny seem very happy and I hope one day we can meet up again!
Sara Snyder and Joe C. (I could never spell his last name!)
- They may still hate me but I don't care anymore. We've been through so much together for some random girl to spoil it. I don't know if they'll read this but I miss them very much. Sorry Tom and Alycia for this, but they were my "Tom and Alycia" of the west coast lol. When I first got back to phoenix in 2007, I landed a job in an electric service company. I made friends with a girl named Christina Tilton there and she invited me to her Daughters Birthday party one saturday and thats when I met Sara and Joe. Tons of funny times were had, and even some fun trips up to flagstaff to see them when they moved there. I'll miss you guys no matter what you say!
Donna and Brandon Powell, Elizabeth Pierce
- I met these guys through my mothers church which I enventually joined until I left. I owe them and Desert Springs Church alot. I don't trust organized religion hardly ever but this church had shown me different and through it I met these great new friends. We had fun parties at my place where hilarious events played out :p I'll miss you guys alot!
Juan Aguilar, Steven Enaco, and the rest of my Boyd friends
- Juan has escaped them so hes lucky lol We had some fun jamming sessions at my place, and at work lol. Steven I met briefly but he swapped to my property and I got to know him better there. Good luck there at Outdoor, and keep yourself entertained lol, its gonna be dead during summer.
Steven and Kim Steenbergen
- Well this isn't really good bye, we're taking this trip together and you'll only be four hours away! It was fate though. I join a church out here in California and one guy approaches me, and we snag lunch and the rest is history. I made up my mind last year that I was coming home this spring. One thing after another began to happen and slowly I was beginning to think I'd never find a way back. My car was breaking down, and then my income taxes were shorter than I thought. All of sudden the a text comes to me from Steven stating he has big news. Next thing I know they are moving to Ohio and that we could share a moving truck. There's proof of a higher power at work right there. I could have chose any number of churches to go to. Steven could have missed service that day. Nope, it all happened and we met and the rest is history! I'm gonna miss you guys too but you're a hop skip and jump away practically!
The Old Plastican Gang
- My job, and pretty much Phoenix to me, and now its gone. To all of you who had to find new jobs because of the plant closing down. I'm praying for you and I wish you all luck in finding what you are looking for!
The Miller Family
- Thank you for welcoming me to california and being there for us in times we needed!
And to all the others I have encountered along my odd Journey, thank you for friendship and the fun we had, via text, twitter, work, or just at a random party!
Goodbye everyone, I am going home!
"I've got that feeling to need more and more attention
I've got that fever, don't leave me alone
I've got that feeling to make more than conversation
that is the fever, where's my home?
Take me home!" - Helloween
