Valerie, our temporary houseguest, is back home in Illinois for now anyway. She flew home for the holidays and decided to stay put, at least temporarily. When her brother asked her why she was still in Peoria on Facebook recently she responded with “A lot of different reasons: job market is non-existant right now, mom and dad can’t keep paying for my survival, jerry lost his job, roni is still waiting for an open position in SoCal…so I’m going to stick around for a little bit, see how things go, and move back when I’m able. I forgot how much I hate this town ha.” So, on that note, let it be known that we miss her and hope that when she does move back to CA with her boyfriend Roni it will be nearby so we can do lunch at Souplantation together. Note-these photos were taken on her 23rd birthday celebration! yum, cake….
