sadness turns to excitement

june, 2010

as usual, i am missing my people :) i do LOVE living in oregon, geographically not-so-much but the actual city/state is fabulous.  there isn't a day that i don't wish we lived in michigan... only because a majority of my family and friends are there, actually moving there w/o jobs and everything is not ideal. (my solution: everyone just needs to move to oregon, it's way more fun and awesome here! hee hee)  i am sad when i miss out on family get togethers, friend's dinners, playdates, etc.  last weekend alex and dayna had their official wedding ceremony...  if it were not for skype i would not have been a part of it!  yes, we will be in mexico standing up in their "real" (non-legal) wedding.  BUT it would have been nice to have been able to actually hug my brother and now sis-in-law on their (first) wedding day... wait, which day will be their anniversary?!? :) anyway..... after saturday's family event, it made me sad to be far away, and more and more adamant about planning another trip to michigan, and soon.  i'm itching to go.......

well, my itch has been scratched! i booked a flight home for mister G and i to fly in, and even more exciting is that we are surprising my dad for his 60th birthday in march! i cannot believe he is not going to know we're coming! luckily, at least for this, he does not EVER use a computer, much less know how or where to read my blog :) he is going to be so happy, i cannot WAIT to see his face when we walk in the door.  (for any of you that might happen to see my dad, talk to him, or whatever.... SHHHHHHHH!!!!)

so... i'm excited! yay!
