"Charlie, I'll love you forever..."

Have you ever seen "Kate and Leopold" by Nora Ephron? Kate's about to jump off the bridge and looks back at her brother, Charlie, and tells him that she loves him. It's sweet.

Gary will be here in 24 hours. I was thinking about how it will be when I see them pull up the drive. I get this bubbly feeling inside me each time I think of it. He called me Saturday and I asked him if I could give him a hug when I see him. He said, "Yes". :-) He also told me that he learned how to draw stars but he's not very good at drawing half moons yet so we need to practice that together. :-) I can't even describe the feeling I have when I think that I'll be with Gary for the first time in 2 years tomorrow night. I honestly never thought I'd see him again... It's kind of blowing my mind.
I'm kind of nervous though. Brandon is bringing his girl friend. And his brother, Chad, is bringing his girlfriend. I've never met the girlfriends. I'm sure they're both great.

I'm having a wonderful time at home with my family. It's been a good few days. Today I went shopping with Mom and Stephen in Columbia and Stephen helped me pick out a pair of sunglasses. He told me that they looked good on me so I got them. :-)
I also got a pink yoga mat so I can do pilates pain free. It makes me happy.
Kristen and I are going to establish an exercising routine consisting of running a couple times a week and doing pilates on the off days. She introduced me to something called Pop Pilates and let me just say that it's intense.

Yesterday I used the weed-eater for the second time in my life. Let me just say that it's about as fun to use as it sounds. My arms were toast after five measly minutes. I really need to get at it with those pilates. :-)

Stepen and I whipped up some heavy whipping cream and I put it in my second cup of coffee. It's yummy.

I've had a wonderful day but part of me feels a little sad. So many things have changed in a year. I'm glad that things have changed, but change always has that effect on me.

Well, I need to go work on a certain someones birthday present and finish my coffee before 10pm rolls around. I think this is the oddest thing I've ever posted. Let's just say it's a glimpse of my life at home. :-)
