Memories...
So many things I will never forget about my wonderful tour b. They were amazing! I LOVE them to death! I missed home a lot too, but now I AM home... so thats better but it just got switched... now I miss them so much! And the worst part is that there is the sad fact of life to think about... there are some of my tour buds I could possibly never see again! And that makes me so sad sometimes... to think that 20 people who made me who I have wanted to be MY WHOLE life... I got to LIVE with 24/7 for 6 weeks... and than they are just gone... just like that.
But I don't want to focus on the bad too much in this memory section, just wanted to share how much they meant to me. So yea I miss them tons, but I have the most awesome memories to cherish forever too!
My first memory I have was meeting Alissa at the airport, and just looking back at that moment, I think even she would agree I am a completely different person! I was so stinking shy when I met her... hardly said a word really as she and Sunny (a girl from tour E) were talking a whole lot. So that was really special to meet one of my tour members right away like that!
I also remember when I met almost half of my group at rehersal camp, after everyone was signed in and brought their stuff to their rooms... I was overwhelmed, but also overjoyed, because they were all SO welcoming and friendly! I felt so tiny, yet SO huge knowing that these people were going to be my family for the next 6 weeks! We all bonded so well at rehersal camp. IT was almost instantanious. And I feel weird cause I say that all the time, but its true, within our first 3 days we went from total strangers to a close-knit family, and that was just our first 3 days!!
Tour flew by SO fast! I never could have immagined it would seem so short, when 6 weeks sounds so long! We had many special moments together that I will always cherish and remember. Every little thing we did just brought us closer together and by the last night... goodbyes seemed impossible. When we were all in a circle reading the Assistant Director's & Directors notes to us all, it hit me really hard... how close the end of tour was. By then it was less than 4 hours away! I hadn't wanted to face it all week, and than it just all hit me. And from then on I just could not stop crying. Every little thing we did made me cry no matter what it was... And when we had to say goodbye to the first person to leave, Courtney... I really lost it then too. Not only was she the first one, but she was also my roomie at rehersal camp, and always reminded me of that whenever she could... hehe The moment she stepped in that car I missed her terribly. And than came goodbyes at the airport, those were just as hard! First Nick, then Shelby, then Emilie, and me. Camillie had to wait till later that afternoon to actually leave so she had to say goodbye to all of us! It was hard, and definitally thought things were not possible at times (like saying goodbye) but Tour taught me SO much! I cannot thank them enough for all they helped me with and all I learned on tour.
