THEY'RE COMING!!

What is this feeling? "Excitement" just doesn't do it justice. It's official; my sister Melissa, and her three beautiful kids are flying in from Hawaii for a visit next week. We haven't seen eachother since last March-the longest 10 months of my life. Now all I can do is sit in my classes, fidget, daydream, make bucket lists for us and fantasize about when I will see them again. I know this is exactly what my family needs right now;to be together, and to have the spirits of three amazing children, to be happy. The only thing that's helped us keep it together is remembering that three little angels somewhere in the pacific love them dearly. That, and my nephew's four simple parting words: "I'm gonna miss you". It's amazing how such a simple sentence can mean so much to a person-I guess I was impressed at how his 5-year-old mind realized before we had even parted that the absence of eachother's company would affect him. I came across this quote by Nicholas Sparks on pinterest the other day that helped me understand this better:

Even if it's for a week, or two, or three, this reunion will be the most rejuvinating and happy one I have ever experienced. I am so grateful.

 

 

I once told him that he was "The Eppie to my Silace" (Silace Marner)

He replied smiling, but questioninly: "You're the echo to my silence?"

I never knew how much I wanted to hear this until I did. Thanks Ryan :)



Yet another embarassing moment

One Tuesday afternoon, ok, it was yesterday.... while trying to pass the time and get myself in a mathy mood, I decided to listen to my awesome Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack on my MP3 while walking to class. I decided to head straight into the women's room before class started. I was all alone, and I noticed someone walking in while I was doing my business, but didn't pay much heed to it. I washed my hands and proceeded to check my face out from all three angles huge mirror with three panels. I guess the fact that I didn't see and couldn't hear anyone gave me the peace that I was alone, so I did my little JLo head bob to the towel dispenser, I saw the girl walking straight toward my neighboring sink through the mirror. Oh, the horror!!!! I don't think I have ever been so embarassed! She was nice about it, she just laughed and laughed and said "You're fine!" Oh my life....I have had my share of embarassing moments, but this-I don't know if I will recover from this.
