ramble
Once upon a time I was falling in love...
Well I was home for the entire week, and I must say it was quite relaxing. I just slept and caught up on some local shopping. It had been a lil over 5 weeks since I had been in the state...so I thought it would be nice if I chilled with my bro and sister too since they also had break. I got a VonDutch purse and a tote, some clothes from AF, AE and express, a webcam so Steve and I can see each other while talking online, a DVD burner, and some other stuff...i can never remember). It was overall a very nice week. I got a huge thing of 18 long stem roses from Stephen on Thursday, and he called right while I was arranging them-perfect timing :) And I also got a card on Friday from him..which was excellent to say the least. That boy never ceases to amaze me. So I guess May 15th is the Cancun date where we start to celebrate all the holidays we have/are going to miss (Christmas, New Years, V-day, St Pats (for me), St Josephs (for him), Easter, My b-day, then his b-day)...so it will be a blast. I think the second week we are going to spend a few days in RI too :) Aww I really can't wait for some of my friends at home to meet him because then they can see why we are together. Ok, so life is pretty good for me as of late...Back to school tomorrow, Rugby starts tomorrow (yes, Katie is playing college rugby), I have some top secret college stuff goin on that will hopefully bring much light into my future as a Doctor of Psych :) and I think overall I am doing well despite the levels of stress at school. 5 more weeks than another break...then 5 more weeks and summer time :) I have discovered that life can be simply amazing when the right people are in your playing field and all the wrong people that brought me down are out. I am truely a happier person, and not b/c of material things, but b/c of who I have become. I am learning what and who I need, the things to value, and the little things that are sometimes the most important. yeah, my boyfriend maybe 6000 miles away, but I am taking steps everyday to learn how to care, love, trust, and be a stable person b/c of it. I know life isnt always perfect, and I may seem like I am living in a dream world, but its reality for me and I am glad. I am glad I am not stuck in Coventry, I am soooooo grateful that I am able to explore a different place and learn to adapt to a new society. It's nice to come home, but never to stay for too long...this summer should be very intresting but I have an optimistic outlook. If things suck here, I always have another place to go..but I want to give "home" a chance, because home is where the heart is....haha....yea im tired now and waiting for the boy to come online from Iraq..
