The First Thing I Did

The first thing I did the day I got home from Wisconsin was find the first pay phone and I called Christa! I was so nervous! Actually I was scared to death!! I remember dialing the number and then hanging up scared wondering who would answer the phone? Yes, I was nervous to talk to Christa but I was more nervous wondering if her parents were going to aswer the phone and what they would think about me calling their daughter from so far away.

I finally dialed the number and it started ringing.......I can't remember which parent answered but I do remember asking for Christa and was told to hold on? Ohhhh, the nervous feeling I had waiting? What was I going to say? How was I going to start the conversation off? And then there it was, the sweetest sound a person could here! The beautiful voice of Christa saying hello.

We talked for a while and talked about anything and everything? I remember thinking that I sure didn't won't this phone call to end. I really missed her, she said she really missed me......I really hated the distance that was between us (Iowa & Georgia) because I couldn't just go see her when I wanted. It made the desire to want to be with her greater.

We vowed to one another that we would always keep in touch!
