one month and counting down
Yeah, I'm pretty happy today. All giggly.
I had a really great new years eve and new years day. I was very very surprised cause I hate new years with a passion, but it turned out to be super cool. I went out with my friend Philippe, and watched his friends' band play, and they were so good! I was very impressed. And then after the show, I met the lead singer's girlfriend, who looked way too familiar. After a long time of brainstorming, I finally figured out she's a friend of mine from 7 years ago, and neither of us could place each other for a few hours, which was really weird. But we spent the evening chatting non-stop and giggling and hugging, which was great. It's always weird for me to be at parties since I don't drink, and I'm very paranoid around strange boys (especially the drunk ones) but last night I just couldn't stop laughing. And I had lots of fun with Philippe. He's crazy. He likes my friend esther, who has a boyfriend, and that made for some interesting conversation. And he sings a lot, which is always good. We drove home in zero visability fog and sang every song on the radio. But then, the best part of the night, was that I got a call from jonathan when I got home. We talked forever, and it was SO good. Such a great conversation. When I got off the phone I felt so content, and I woke up today all smiley and excited for his visit. I had been getting a little down. I found myself completely pissed off and discouraged by the distance thing...it just gets so annoying to only be able to email and occasionally talk on the phone to each other. SO I felt mad, and even had trouble remembering WHY we were putting so much effort into this, wondering WHY we kept it up. But the instant I heard him exclaim "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" with that aussie accent of his it all came back, and I was sold all over again. I love that boy so much. He can calm me down or excite me or make me laugh or make me cry in an instant, and I'm not sure when he got that close to my heart. But I couldn't be happier about it. He's everything I've ever dreamed of and I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
Hey I mean it! That just sounded...I don't know..too easy somehow, but I really am completely blown away by how perfect things feel with him. I'm just constantly amazed.
Anyhoo...I start back to school Wednesday, and I'm not looking forward to it, but at the same time I know it will make these four weeks go by even faster, so that's a plus. And work starts on the 8th...and that I can't wait to get back to. I know that sounds nuts but I feel like time is being wasted right now--the kids I work with need help...and time is ticking. I think there's a greater sense of urgency since the program will be over in may for good, and the kids are left with no one. So, I want to go back.
Umm..it's late. I guess I should go to bed.
