It's finally hitting me: i'm going to be living in this house in about four months, my friends and family thousands of miles away. i know for a fact it's going to be hard. i'm 23 years old and have lived in the comfort of my parent's home my entire life. i think if i didn't move here though, i'm not sure when i would. my relationship with my family is the best it has ever been. i get along great with my parents and brother, and having nancy living with us these last months has been really helpful in providing this sort of communal living situation where we make dinners together, play games, watch shows, and pretty much just enjoy each other's company. in a way i kind of feel guilty for breaking that routine we have going on. but like i said, i'm 23 years old and am about to have a B.A. it's not much, but it's something; enough for me to know that it's time for me to literally move on and find a life of my own. and i can't imagine starting that life with anyone else other than kimble.
The best day i've had here was on sunday. we woke up and went out for dim sum, napped, and then headed to hanauma bay. i remember going to this place when i went for my senior trip, but i didn't snorkel that time 'cos i was stupid and didn't want anyone to see me in my bathing suit. plus, i have this fear of stepping on fish. we met a few people from kimble's cohort there and they had some snorkeling gear, so i was brave and snorkeled a bit. it was amazing! you can clearly see the reef and tons of fish swimming under you and some beside you. just absolutely beautiful. we sunbathed a little then went out for burgers and drink at a restaurant by the marina and saw the sunset. we came home and i talked to my mom, and i for the first time kimble spoke to my mom on the phone. i fell just a little more in love with him after that! he's just such a good speaker and just seems to always know the right thing to say. tonight i cooked my first successful dinner for him!! it was pasta with sausage and roasted peppers and i have to say it was pretty damn good. anyway, that's what's going on here. can you believe tomorrow's christmas eve?!
