People are Everything.

I'm not sure why I never posted this. I wrote it back in October right after the marathon. Maybe that's why I didn't. I was all wrapped up in marathon recaps and this got lost along the way. But anyway...here's a little something from my brain three months back. The picture is from only a month back but it shows a lot of those people who came to visit. Aaaaaand go:

I've come to realize that truth, that "people are everything", more and more as time goes on. Especially being removed from most of those that I love for such a long time. I was torturing myself on a particularly homesick day with a trip down memory lane (aka my own facebook page) and came across this beauty:

Okay a few things. (Christopher...you'll want to read this too)

1. I read your blog last night and it was the weirdest/coolest thing ever to see pictures of Chris and I walking away from your apartment that morning, on my computer in my house that evening. So weird. So cool.
2. I showed both my parents the blog post and they liked it a lot 
3. I just got done showing my parents your wedding video and here were a few comments:

Mom: "Wow she's pretty...Ahh! (reaction to when Chris saw you for the first time followed by...) I can't believe this, I'm crying...That balloon is cool, I love the way she smiles...go back to when he saw her for the first time, I love that...this was awesome, amazing. It was exceptional. It was beautiful, tell her I cried."

Dad: "Yep, that's her smile...Chris looks skinny."

lol. so yeah. that's what just went down. Sorry you didn't get the bountiful comments that Kelly did Chris, but my mom still likes you based on the one hs soccer game you attended with us.

Okay that's all. P.S. I'll get that top ten to ya soon

I just wanted to share that with you all. Because in sharing it here, I won't lose it so easily to my less-than-perfect-memory. I love when people have a talent for words. Mike is definitely one of those people. Words are what I have to cherish here where physical beings are less than available. So thank you for the words, everyone. Texts, inbox-conversations, g-chats, phone calls, emails, letters and video chats. You'll never know how much they mean to me here.
