Twenty Four

Today I turned 24, and I had a wonderful day. Chip woke up with Preston this morning and let me sleep in. Around 8:30 when I woke up I was greeted with hugs, kisses, and breakfast in bed. Chip made me my usual (6 eggs whites, a banana, and large cup of coffee) but it tasted extra good today.

After breakfast we spent the morning playing, laughing, cuddling, and singing. Around 2:30 we met Grandma Mike for a late lunch/ early dinner. It is always so great to spend time with her, and it was so sweet of her to treat us.

This evening we continued to play and had a movie/pallet night. I just put Preston to sleep and Chip and I are about to watch one of our top 5 favorite movies Full Metal Jacket. This day was perfect, and I am so thankful for everyone who helped make it so special. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us!

Missing Each Other

Preston and I got back from Dallas today after spending the weekend with my family. Chip works on the weekends so he isn't able to go to Dallas with us usually, but we are planning a trip soon with all 3 of us.

We had a wonderful weekend. We spent hours in Sari and Pappy's pool, played outside on the deck every morning while we had our coffee and breakfast, and I was able to get some incredible sleep. There is nothing like sleeping in your childhood bed. The coziness literally wraps me up and I sleep like a baby every time.

We go to Dallas almost every other weekend. It gives Preston and I some time out of the apartment and gives me a chance to see old friends and have some adult time. I love being in Dallas, but this weekend I was overwhelmed with missing Chip. I said countless times how much I wished he was there with us. When we got back today, Chip left work early to come home and be with us. When he walked in the door my heart burst with emotion. We hugged and kissed and I even shed a few tears. I just love him so much, and am so thankful for him and the love he gives us. We ordered a pizza for dinner and after Preston went to bed we cuddled on the couch and watched Lockup. The show was on mute half the time because neither of us could stop talking to one another.

We missed each other terribly the last 2 days, and there truly is no better place than home <3
