Bonded Out

I love my team.
They are Wonderful.

Heather is becoming such a close friend, she is a fantastic listener, vocalizes many of the thoughts I wish I could say outloud, giggles with me at night, oversleeps alarms with me, and speaks such truth and wisdom. She is so wonderful with children, I think it is because she has such a pure and lovely heart.

Dillon is hilarious. He is such a gentleman and always so respectful of the people he is around. He has a fun loving personality and rarely gets stressed out. I always know I can count on Dillon and that he will keep his word. His spiritual curiousity is contagious.

Ranger is the newbie. He is also great. He can fix anything and everything, and has such a servant's heart. He also has a million life stories that always apply to whatever random thing is happening...and we have bonded over our love of the gifts of the spirit and all things Holy Spirit related.

So, when I say I love my team...I really mean it. But when I say that we spend a lot of time together I also mean that too. We are together all the time. I cannot think of more than 2 hours I have spent completely by myself in the last two weeks. Yesterday I spent 14 solid hours with Ranger. We ate all three meals together and shopped till we literally dropped. Today I have been with at least one other person since 7:00am. That is almost 12 hours of solid togetherness.

Now, I love team bonding. We are bonded. I have never bonded with people so fast. We have to bond, we are working together, living together, we are each other's only friends, we are each other's family, we are our own church...because there isn't really a church here. We already make each other's meals, do each other's laundry, and can tell pretty immediately when someone is stressed.

I think I've reached a point of over-bondedness. Maybe that isn't the correct sentiment. But I really need some alone time. And I can't see a chunk of alone time coming my way until at the earliest Saturday. That is a whole week from today.

On saturday....this is what I want to do:
1. Sleep in
2. Drink Tea and read a book
3. Drive to Glacier in our pick up truck with the windows down and the music blaring
4. Go horseback riding with my neighbor who offered to take me.

Maybe it will happen....probably not all of it. But we'll see. This is not a 9-5 job...that is for certain.
