Home Sweet Home

I am finally home! I just got back from a long weekend spent with Mike and his sister and Uncle. His parents are in Cancun for their 20th wedding anniversary, and last I heard having an amazing time. We are all very jealous of them, but as I continue to remind Mike when he complains that they didn't take him along, they are having a really great and romantic time without their spoiled (in only the best loving way) kids. I envy them their dream vacation, but admire them for their marriage. They really are great people as well as great parents.

It was great to get to know Mike's sister more, she is finishing her 7th grade year, so that is very exciting for her! We got our nails done so that was really fun. I miss doing girly things, so it was fun to get away for a little bit and splurge on some girly-ness. One night we made waffles for dinner with chocolate pudding for dessert, breakfast for dinner is fun! Mike and I hit an exciting date, our 11th month together! Rapidly approaching is Mike's 19th birthday and our 1 year anniversary.

I cannot believe it has already been a year together. Time is passing so quickly, before I know it this summer will be over and I will be going back to Flag to start my sophomore year. Wow. For now though, I love being home and relaxing and spending time with my mom. Being in Flagstaff is great, but it is hard to be so far away from family. Now that I am back home, living in my room, and I am realizing that well... I think my room was attacked by a rouge tornado while I have been gone. That is simply the only explanation for how it looks like how it looks like.

I am convinced of this because there is stuff everywhere, not to mention that in my living room the contents of my dorm are still sitting in boxes. Through being on vacation, then going to Mikes for a few days, I haven't been home to work on it. After spending yesterday working to organize it and not even making a dent, today I decided that instead of embarking on that frustrating mess I am going to procrastinate and start my quilt! Yay!

The time has finally come. So I sat at my sewing machine and watched gossip girl (don't judge, it was on Netflix and I had never watched it before). And I have good progress! Well, I have 4 of the little 4 square quilt blocks done. I am a little worried because each one doesn't end up being exactly the same size, but I am sure at the end when I go to finish it I can even them all out. It is fun to see all the pieces of my quilt starting to come together! I have a lot of progress to be made, but it is lots of fun!

2 down, 40ish to go!
I am missing Mike. Being home is so wonderful, but it is very hard to go from seeing each other every single day for hours on end to being limited to texting, calling and FaceTime. Thank goodness for technology. I have decided that I do not like texting. It is annoying and things I say that are supposed to be funny just sound lame via text. And I hate that my heart jumps every single time I get a text message, and it falls when it is someone else texting me not him. Then I feel pathetic over having so many emotions over a stupid text. I hate that I can't just take the 2 minute walk across the quad to see him whenever the heck I want. I feel for those who have long distant relationships, I cannot imagine the suffering that must be to have that all the time. This distance certainly sucks, but absence does make the heart grow fonder. When I am with him, we make up for time lost by having as much fun as possible and enjoying our time together. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but honestly, if my heart got any fonder I think it would just explode because there is no more room for any more love in there because it is totally full. Alas, I will continue to be distracted by my disaster of a room and my quilt which I really shouldn't work on until the room is done.

For now that is all I have for you. As usual, if you want to comment I would love to hear from you to know I am not just blogging to an empty internet, thinking I am making witty funny posts where in reality people from all over the world are laughing at me... so yeah, I would love to hear from you!
