JEWELL IS IN TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been dying to post about her trip to town, but had to hesitate unaware of who might be reading. Luke and I were the only two in town who knew she was coming in until I spilled the beans to Angelina a few weeks ago. I've been bursting trying to keep it a secret from all of the staff, teens, and kids. I love secrets and surprising people, but at the same time I have this problem with ruining surprises because I like to tell people the good stuff that is about to happen, hence the reason I always have to wait until the last minute to get gifts for people, if I get them to early, I give them immediately, but I digress.
So after a day of being so anxious about her arrival, Luke and I picked Jewell up last night around 10 and we went for a late dinner at Friday's. I cried as I was waiting for her to come up the escalator. I was sitting there talking when I noticed a Grandma being reunited with her two grandchildren and daughter (I assume) and it was so touching, all the tears of joy, the behavior of the children, it was incredible. I was already emotional enough, and then add my empathy on top of that, it was almost borderline ridiculous how much I was crying. And then she came up the escalator, and we both about tackled the other, talking over the other one. It's so weird and foreign to me how this person who I have very little in common with who I've known for 4 months, can play such an intricate role in my life and can mean so much to me. It feels so right having her back here, she interviews tomorrow with the Aurora Probation Office, fingers crossed it goes well. And if it goes well then I will have a roommate come mid January!!!!
This is all I have for now, I'm off to pick Jewell and one of our teens up and then off to Coffee House for the night, the teens are going to go crazy when they see her. Then I'm gearing up for a weekend of trips and adventures as we are trying to cram as much as possible into 4 days. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, more to post next week!
Muchos love!
