The Short Version

When I was in high school and would come home from dates, I would always go check in with my parents to let them know I got home ok. Dad was always sound asleep. Mom was either awake worrying or sleeping light enough that she woke up when I opened the door (depending on who my date was.) I would sit and tell my mom all about the date--where we went, what we did, who was there, did I have fun, etc etc. At some point my dad would roll over and say, "Emily, is this the short version or the long version?" I am not sure if he was gently hinting for me to leave so he could go to sleep--or if he was debating whether or not it was worth it to stay awake for the end of the story. All you that know me well can probably guess—it was always the LONG version.

Since I am so behind on our posts--I am going to insert everything as "the short version." If you want more details, you will just have to give us a call or write an email :)
