nostalgia and melancholy
Passover was great. I mean, I of course sort of fought with my dad a bit, but that was expected. Especially when he tells me who he wants to add to the guest list as I'm addressing Save The Date cards. I don't think it's unreasonable to be slightly miffed at that.
Anyway, I got to see Evan and Jess. That was awesome. I have a neice in there! I got to talk to her and poke around at her. I realized I hadn't really been around pregnant people much -- it was fun :). I can't wait to play with her in real life. Of course, the distance thing could be a problem, but if I focus on that I want to cry, so I won't. It was very sad having to drop them back off at the airport. I loved getting to spend time with them, though. I miss having family around. I told Ben that his parents had better not actually move back to England anytime soon. If they do, I don't know what I'll do. I don't think I could manage not having any family closer than a 3+ hour drive.
During the time in Waco, we also spent a while talking about things I could/should do for a living. Which seems a bit strange, since I actually have a job. It's true, though, I don't actually see myself doing it forever. I plan to go back to school at some point, whether I end up being a librarian or not. What would you think of me becoming a midwife?
No, I'm not crazy.
I'm also missing TAMS people, no surprise. Licy moved out on Saturday, and that doesn't help any. Neither does trying to finalize a guest list. I want to invite some of these people I still feel close to, but I have trouble justifying inviting more when I haven't talked to them in over a year. Or more. Such problems are unique to TAMSters -- they really do handicap us in a way.
Anyway, I love you guys, whether you get an invite or not. Now, to bed!
