katie :)

good morning all! you think today would be the prime day to sleep in, but of course my ambitious self is up at 8am! oh well, i guess maybe it's a sign that i need to start my endless amounts of homework, huh? wonderful.
today, i would like to touch on how much i value friendship.
my best friend, katie, who now lives and teaches in boulder, colorado, is probably one of the best friends i've had, ever. she is coming to visit over her thanksgiving break for a few days. i can't even express the amount of excitement building up inside of me right now! it's kinda like a firecracker! although i haven't seen her since about mid-summer, i know that we will pick up right where we left off. some days, when i'm bored or sad thinking about how much i miss her, i look back at our wall-to-walls on facebook and almost instantly start laughing and feeling better. we're such goons together and have endless inside jokes and antics. i know that when she comes she'll break me out of that shell again, since i've somewhat cocooned up into a comfort zone around my new roommates (which, is not necessarily a bad. thing).
so, just NINE days until my twin lovebird gets here, and i NEED to make sure that i get ALL of my homework done prior to her arrival, because i am almost certain i will not want to do it when she is here!
LOVE YOU KATIE!
