Sometimes you learn things about your friends...

1. Sometimes your friends can sum you up better than you ever could yourself...
Me: Did you get my message that I might be late?
Joe: Yeah, but you're Val so I figured that just meant you wouldn't be early

2. Sometimes you really find the people who you don't necessarily think of as your closest friends turn out to be the ones who seem to care about you the most, while the ones you think of as being better friends don't seem to be. This can make you feel both absolutely amazing and absolutely shitty.

A couple of pics to tide Hood over...

Full recap and pics from the rafting adventure hopefully tomorrow...I have three cameras to go through, including a yet-to-be-developed waterproof disposable. :)
