Anticipation. It's a good thing, right? Gah. I'm not so sure. I keep looking at the clock every .2 seconds just hoping that somehow, it will magically be 9:30-10:00-ish and I'll have a house full of incredible friends because Mary, Seanne, and Sierra will finally arrive after their intense cross-country trek. But it's definitely not happening; time will not move faster, no matter how much I will it to do so.
It's been a fabulous weekend so far and it's not even close to being over. Last night, we celebrated my Aunt Sue's 62nd birthday and her retirement from Farm Fresh after many, many years of work. She got a little tipsy and I had to drive her home, but she so earned it. Almost all of the family gathered together with snacks and dips and cheese balls and crackers and cake and ice cream and wine and sparkling grape juice and wine and champagne and wine (get the picture?) and just had fun celebrating and being together. There are still some issues here and there that may never improve, but we forgot about it all for one night to party in honor of our favorite sister/mom/aunt/"Nanny"/Grandma. I sat on the couch with my MoMo and my MegMeg and my Haleigh and my Auntie Lissa, just happy to be with my favorite "everybody" as we giggled and looked up stupid YouTube videos and made plans for everyone to come visit me in November. It's going to be incredible. I'm so eager to get back to school, but if get-togethers like this were a daily, even weekly occurrence? Yeah, I'd be dreading next Sunday.
Oi. Next Sunday. Wow that's close... maybe I should think about packing some stuff? Nah. I'll do it after my friends leave. Tomorrow, we're venturing out to Williamsburg to help our friend Alexandra settle in at W&M for grad school (shh, I'm taking her some Mountain Dew. It's her Elixir of Life) and to bring Mariah back to my house for what promises to be an epic evening of adventuring. I don't know what we'll do, but I really don't care as long as I'm with them <3
