October

So its October. Its this part of the year that i miss the valley most... probably because this is the only time the valley is a pleasant place to be. I love the mornings when the air is crisp and my bed is nice and warm and I can here music and the sound of clanking dishes. I walk our to the kitchen to greet my mother baking an apple something or another and she says "BEAN! Good morning   sleepy head. I thought it would be nice to let you sleep in. We do have a lot to do today so get some breakfast, get dressed, and come out ready to work." I miss that so much. I miss the saturdays when my dad is home and he too celebrates my awakening. He'd say "Beanie's awake!" and give me a huge hug. In the past I've only responded with a grunt and or a moan, but if it were this morning i would smile and hug them tight and tell how much I love them.
There is something magical about October.

Tori, my roomie, well she's insane, but things have gotten better. She's seeing a councilor and I talked to the bishop about how to handle her. I prayed really hard that Tori would feel the love that we have for her and my prayer was answered. One night we were sitting in my room and we were talking about who knows what and then there was a pause and I said, "Tori, I love you." And instead of a rebuttle which would be totally natural for her, she smiled and said that she loved me too. It was a beautiful moment.

Well, I really have to get going. I have homework due in an hour and I havent even started it.
