Homesick and Emerald Earrings
Current mood: melancholy
Category: Life
I came home to a yellow sticky note that lead me to search for another note... and another, and another. It was kind of a long process that made me smile sheepishly as I read every token of love and discovered what each clue meant. They were all over my apartment and I got stuck a couple times, but I found them all. The end of my treasure hunt was a burgundy box entwined with a golden ribbon. Attached was a note professing love and affection... inside were emerald earrings.

I had always wanted emerald earrings and didn't even remember telling him! This by far is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, and that tops my ultra romantic Valentines (that I know Apryl mostly understands how sweet that was)! I don't deserve someone so wonderful to me!

I'll be honest- and especially after hunting around for sweet notes- I was and still am extremely homesick. I miss him sooo much. It's like I have this empty space and I can't put into words how much I want him near. I want to smell him and to feel him. I want to be able to talk to him and see him, if only I could just have a small glimpse. Of course I will tomorrow at Mollie's wedding, but that is only a tease. It's like she's just dangling him in front of me because I won't even be able to sit next to him and he'll be gone before I know it...

I felt kind of sad after helping Gavin open some birthday presents (he turned 9 today). He is so cute and it's wierd that my little man is growing up. I freaked out last year because he was half way to driving... and now he's one year from double digits!

yeah I'm a whiner tonight, I had hardly any sleep!

My trip to Atlanta went really well and I had a lot of fun. I attempted to loosen up and let go... I think I let go too much a couple times, but it's a vacation so I suppose it's good I unpruded myself some. I know how to party and I like to party... but I can say I have never partied that much that many days in a row! (THANKS Naomi & Holly & everyone else I met!)

It was an interesting time and I met tons of nice people- a few that I probably won't forget... but it IS good to be home and such a nice feeling to sleep in MY bed. Gosh how I miss my bed. (except I have laundry all over it!)
