Day 45- Oct 22 2007
On Monday Oct 22 I awoke at 3am to make my drive back to my mom's house in Plainfield,IL! I had about 15 hours ahead of me without my co-pilot, entertainment, DJ ,Navigator but most important I was without my friend. The past 45 days have been amazing! Words can not even explain how I feel about being able to share this part of my journey with Karen. Over the past 45 days we have laughed, cried and opened ourselves to many experiences. We have learned from each other and our friendship has grown. There are sooooooooooo many things that I have done on this trip that I might not have if Karen wasn't with me. just to list a few: I would not have set up camp at 9pm or in the dark.(FYI I am slightly afraid of the dark and that may have freaked me out on my own), I would not have learned all the words to all of Pink's, Missy Higgins and the Waifs songs, I wouldn't have watched educational video's at all the National Parks. I wouldn't have stopped at Mt.Rushmore and seen the boys and learned about the Black Hills. I would have missed out on all the gift shop shopping. I wouldn't have enjoyed coffee everyday all day long. But most of all I wouldn't have had the opportunity to know who Karen REALLY is!!!! Her name is Karen Fritz and she ROCKs! Our friendship will never be the same and I look forward to where it will take us in the future. Maybe Thailand,Vietnam, New Zealand, and Aus!!! I am trying to get her to join up with me.
Thank you Karen for sharing yourself with me the past 45 days and allowing me to share myself with you!
Take it in, take it all in Now is a time that will not come again this is a day that is here for the living! - The Waifs- Seems to be our motto!
I love you and will miss you on the next part of my journey!
Watch out San Diego you are getting a New Adventurous Karen who now sees light in a whole new way!!!
