Au Revoir Morocco

Today was the best! I got the best surprise - Kelly had access to a computer and we were able to chat online for a while. It was almost like talking to him, but not quite. It was way better than what we have had for the last 2 weeks anyway. Kelly is going to be coming home on Friday and I can't wait. He is done with what he was doing and he is now in Agadir and wanted me to post some pictures for him. I thought I could give a photo recap of things that have happened since he left. For starters, he wanted to see our cute flowers!
This is not the best picture, but they are still in bloom and you can see them when you get here! I have no idea why some have rounded petals and some have pointy petals - they are all supposed to be the same kind of tulip. As long as they are growing that is all I care about.
I needed to post this picture so that I would have proof that I actually made the bed (at least once) while he was gone. I am definitely one who feels that making the bed is the hugest waste of time I can think of. I often unmake the bed after Kelly makes it just because he gets so mad - it is a good thing he loves me anyway!
This is the painting project that I started working on while he was gone. Don't worry, I have already quit and am awaiting my helper to return home so we can finish this project together - remember Together Everyone Achieves More - because it is definitely a team project.
Oh, and this is the other project that is awaiting me. This one is the scariest project of all because it involves me sewing. I really want to learn how to sew well and be able to make things, but it is a little intimidating. Hopefully, when all is said and done I will be able to wear this in public Ü

I miss you Kelly and I am so excited for you to come home! At this point we are down to 48 hours, however I just know something will happen. Maybe his flight will be delayed, maybe I will be late - it's happened before that he is gone for weeks and then when I am supposed to pick him up inevitably I get behind schedule. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and my clocks set ahead by 30 minutes!

GNO

Last night I had a Girl's Night Out with my mom. Due to Kelly and my dad both being out of town, we decided to make the most of it and hit the town. We ate at Zupas, which I totally love, and then went to go see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The food was great, plus I learned that the Zupas in AF has these delicious looking dessert bars that I will have to try some time. I thought the movie was good as well, it was quite funny and the 3 men in the theater seemed to be enjoying it as much as the women. The best part of all was being able to spend the night with my mom. We don't hang out near as much as we used to, but we always have fun. I am looking forward to spending some more time with her this weekend to celebrate Mother's Day (which she hates Ü).
You would think the boys would learn to leave us unsupervised. One time my Dad was out of town for his birthday, but that didn't mean that we forgot it was his birthday. No, we went out for steak dinner without him to honor his birthday - hey you snooze, you lose. Thanks Mom for a fun night out!

All A Matter of Perspective

Generally speaking, weekends are very short. I think that Saturday is shorter than weekdays by about 9 hours! However, this last weekend I thought Saturday would never end. It felt like the day was dragging. I have decided that this is all due to perspective. Most saturdays I get to spend with Kelly running errands and scrambling to get things done for the week. I had to drop Kelly off at the airport Friday so he could go to Morocco and thus spent all of Saturday alone. The worst part was that I couldn't talk to him on the phone. Between Friday and Saturday I finished 1 book, read 2 more books, and started a 4th book. Plus I watched a movie, fertilized the yard, worked on my bathroom project (hopefully pictures will soon be coming), folded a bunch of laundry and watched a bunch of TV. If only the days went by so slowly when Kelly was home. Having to work has definitely helped with the passage of time, but I don't know if I will make it till the 15th! Did I mention that I just had to water the plants?! and I will also have to take out the garbage? twice!! I miss my Kelly Ü
