Elizabeth!
Yes, you did.
Sorry it took me so long to read this, and respond- I didn't see your message.

Also, while I'm thinking about it: Did your brother tell you that our GAPP exchange group saw him in Germany?

Ah! *waves again* I was wondering if you'd gotten the message. Glad you did! ^^

And yes!! My brother showed us that photo he took with you guys too--my parents and I are still amazed by the coincidence. Simply incredible. (What are the odds?)

So how's your summer going? =3

After a long time. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

It was insane! They saw the shirts of a couple of people, and were like, "The soccer team in Kingsport?"
And at first, we didn't think that we knew them, but once we began talking, it was revealed that one of them was best friends with Gina's older brother in middle school, one of them played soccer with Julie's older brother.
And finally, your brother was like, "Oh, yeah, I was there at graduation, I might have seen some of you there, and just not known who you were. My sister graduated this year."
So we asked who you were, and my jaw dropped. Seeing someone in a foreign country to whom you have a connection? It's unbelievable.

My summer has been great, although it's a little boring now, since all my friends are back in school.
But I still have my internet to keep me company. :]
How about yours?

I know! ^-^ Unbelievable (and insane too) is a good word. When my brother showed us the photo of you all, I was like, "Holy cow! I know her...and him...and--" Yeah. I'm glad you wore some school shirts that day! Otherwise no one might've known. Did you have fun on the trip?

Oh good! I'm glad to hear that you're having a great summer. I've been having a good one over here too, though I've not gone anywhere as cool as Europe. Here, a lot of internet...and summer reading...and internet.
It's so hard to believe that the city schools are already in session. o__o It's madness.
You're off to college, right? When do you have to start?

I know!
It was pretty strange.
It's funny to think that we might have seen some other people from this area while not wearing Kingsport/DB shirts and completely missed them.

I started on August 16th. :]
Well. I think it was the 20th or something, but the 16th was move-in day. It's hectic, but I'm loving it.
How's college for you?

It's interesting to wonder how often you could have seen someone from back home. = D Small world, small world. *nod* *nod*

Wow. My classes started on the 28th, though orientation lasted almost a week beforehand. I can't believe it's only been a month; it feels like I've been here for ages. x.x;
Cool, I'm glad you're loving it there! ^_^ Awesome! I like it here, too, and I've met some nice people, but I can't wait until my parents come to visit this weekend.
