So I am feeling very loved today =D I got a package from Barb, my dad's first wife. And in it was a TON of things to sew with! So much stuff! Just "Because". WAY awesome! Following this, we sent a couple emails back and forth and it was really nice to share some of my hobbies with her and learn some of hers! In nearly 25 years, I haven't really known her. So it's a pretty cool thing!
AND! My cousin and her boyfriend are spending Thanksgiving with us, even though Lily is sick. This is the first time in 4 years where we'll have company for Thanksgiving. WAY awesome! I wouldn't mind making this a tradition.... (HINT!) Just makes me feel so SPECIAL and LOVED.
AND! A friend who moved away has contacted me through email today and we've caught up a bit. WAY AWESOME!
It's insane, though- how close I am to people hundreds of miles away... but FEEL like I'm hundreds of miles away from people we see every week. Family is seriously taken for granted. Makes me want to be a hermit crab and keep to myself. I try not to think about it much, but it creeps up there and bites now and again. It's sad. But I have Stephen and Lily right here, and I know they love me VERY much and that's more than good enough for me =D
I am definitely okay with it being a tradition! I am not sure what is gonna happen with him being in the AF next year...you guys MAY have to come to us. But if we are stationed in Florida like we are thinking we're gonna be...we can start planning that early! It will be warm in November! haha.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time--minus the whole getting sick thing :) but it's alright, we didn't have to miss work and we survived, so it was definitely worth it. Love and miss you guys already! <3
