Makes the Heart Grow Fonder


That's what they say time apart does. Maybe it's true, I miss Nick terribly. I'm so torn. I'm excited to be going to Brazil Monday, but I wish I could see Nick sooner or that he was going too. 

I've got to see lots of my friends in Indiana, that's been nice. 
I've hung out with Jess a couple times. We even ran once and I could keep up, maybe its the elevation thing. We've also played WII Doctor Mario, she is so much better than me, but she has played alot. Maybe we'll get a WII for Christmas. 
I went up to Lafayette for one day to see Beth. We went shopping like old times. She fixed a yummy dinner with real mashed potatoes. I even got Nick and I matching sweatshirts with her discount, how cute.
Melanie and I went out to dinner and got a couple things for the boys. I'm going to go see the boys Saturday and give them a couple presents.
I went to mamaw Hedrick's for a couple days. We went to both of my aunt's houses and to Frenchlick to see the dome and hotel there. It was pretty neat. The dome place looked so nice and to see how bad it looked at one time is amazing. Lots of hard restoration work there.
I've visited my mamaw Elmore a couple times, but I can't stay there long because the smoke smell makes me sick. 

I've also been working while in Indiana. Which is good and bad. I want to do everything while I'm here, but I have responsibilities with work. I should have taken a sabbatical ;). Today is the last day I have to work until I get back. But that day and today might not be much fun because Katrina is gone today and the deadline when I get back is for the Thanksgiving paper. Oh well, I guess we'll have money when we get back.

My mom and I carved pumpkins last night. Mine is an owl, hers says boo and has a cat. I picked a much easier one, but I like it. 

Well that was alot, but I haven't wrote in a while. (Thanks honey for the encouragement.) And I probably won't write again until I get back from Brazil.
