Oh Florida. Home from the trip with the Boo's and currently sitting at my dining room table, looking outside. It's still very green outside, the sun is completely radiant and Gracie is sunbathing at the edge of the driveway. She's so precious.
Today has been productive. I have not left the house yet, its nearing 3:30pm. I have unloaded the dishwasher, vacuumed the common living area, started laundry, unpacked my bag from last weekend, had lunch and now just sitting here. I actually started cleaning my bathroom as well, but it got too futile so I walked away to find distraction. I found it, it usually is at the computer.
Visiting with my mom with friends was fun, she was a fantastic host- we had lots of Diet Coke and food at our disposal, it was wonderful. I never lived in her Florida house, so its always a little weird being there and seeing things that were in the house I grew up in. Not much remains from those years, but the Secretary desk in her bedroom was a very important piece in our old formal living room. I kind of just stood there looking at it remembering where it once lived, back in the day. Among all the rest and relaxation there were exuberant Karaoke moments- singing Moulin Rouge, Glamorous, and Umbrella. We are actually quite good about randomly and simultaneously breaking out in song and dance. We talked about the TV Show we were going to have one day, to store I was going to run that they'd work at, and just this life despite its unknown directions, our intent on staying close and living near each other in the future. Oh, if I could only live everywhere I loved...
Since having returned home, Tuesday was our house dinner and Matt cooked- it was good. It was fun to see my friends, my family here in Lexington. We have grown a bit in size since last spring, but I'm excited to see how the Lord uses our friendship to spur us to closer to Himself. Of course now that I'm home, and switching out my life I am about to go to Indiana for the weekend. I am going to be visiting my dear dear special fabulous friend Emily, whom we have now been friends for over 5 years- my first real true till the end of time friend I didn't grow up with you, or go to school with you, we have a small Jesus coincidence of meeting, best adult friend, I was at your wedding and now that you're pregnant I'm going to love your son, we are in this for life friend Emily. I'm going for a long weekend, which will be just enough to see her and Perry on the weekend days off and enjoy some afternoons bumming around Indianapolis while they are being productive at work. I am psyched. There is something about talking to her on the phone that just makes me feel warm and content, the honesty, encouragement and perspective she shares are really special to me. So, I am going to go see her, because I can.
