Throwing my thoughts to the wind
I have many cute pictures to post, but this whole "not being on my own computer" thing makes it difficult. One of these days, when I actually have a wireless connection or somtehing, I'll do just a Christmas picture entry.
Things I'd missed, that just feel like it's home to experience: A late-night (slash very early-morning) theology debate with Aaron. Kat sitting between us, shaking her head during said debate. Movies with Kim. Walking into people's houses without knocking. Being Auntie (I especially missed that part). Driving. Mom's hall-light paranoia. Choosing Aaron-appropriate movies for those movie nights. Coffee (okay, I can't really say that I actually missed that). Coffee with friends that I haven't seen. Better?
One week left. Coffee slash meal slash movie slash hangout times with at least five more people. So glad I'm not actually working or anything. It's good to have the time without anything scheduled at all, just so that I can spend it with people, rather than trying to fit them around my schedule.
I'm excited to go back, but I'm realizing that, in many ways, looking after Lourenzo is so peripheral to the real reasons I went to New York. It's the bread and butter of why I'm there, but the heart and soul of it is found in the church, in my classes, in the opportunities for internships and jobs and education. What I'm most looking forward to isn't going back to life with a 5-year-old; it's going back to the amazing opportunities that have all been placed in front of me.
