Ashley and Cody texted me around 6pm this evening asking if they could come and say hello.  Flo was with them.  We talked around the table eating fresh cookies.  They shared with me there ups and downs and we laughed at my scolding of Ashley's "bad drug" involvement.  She said she didn't even like it and she's not sure why she did.  I told her she needed to keep good for her buddy's return.  Then Michael arrived and I told them to feel free to stay and go down and sit by the fire and chill with you in spirit.  At first they weren't sure it was really ok to do, but within a short time they were loving it.  Alex showed up.  Ashley said it was still surreal for her that you were gone and sometimes it feels like its been forever and other times can't believe its already November and you aren't even gone.  Cody says he's still crossing his fingers that you pick Boulder and he is almost ready to go to Denver.  Flo said she was kind of lonely at school but then later on said she maybe was liking more than she thought and it was nice to talk about it.  Ashely said she had only seen her parents twice since she's been at school and only for a short while.

They all packed up and headed out at 10:30.  They gave me hugs and Alex said we have the best smelling house in the world and he instantly felt so comfortable and cozy when he came.  Ashey added the Moratz' all have the best smells.  Ha Ha.  She said she thought she would head home and crash at her parents for a change.  

I could tell they all just really needed a night just to be together and chill at a place they felt at home with a good buddy there in spirit.
