Day off Update

I had a decent night last night at work, though it certainly wasn’t busy.  I am looking forward to when it is, because even when it’s not busy for the majority of the night, I tend to make pretty good money in the last 2 hours of work or so.  Soon it will be busy all day/night, at least that’s what they tell me. :-)

I have the day off today and have actually been pretty productive, which I am glad of.  I have read, made a bank deposit, created drawer spacers to keep my stuff more organized, finished paperwork for work, mailed something off, and am at Tully’s now taking care of my online things.  I plan on reading a little more tonight and working on my knitting project, while maybe catching up on messages from Des Moines Fellowship.

I miss Julianna like crazy these days.  We had a good long conversation the other day on the phone.  Till then she hasn’t talked to me much when we get on the phone.  But the other day we had a real conversation about all kinds of things.  When we finished, she made sure she told me she loved and missed me.  She said it twice to be sure I heard her.  Anne mentioned that earlier that morning, Juli had asked if they could ‘stop by and see Liss’ on their way to the store.  Then she told Anne to invite me over for the day.  It makes my heart hurt, I miss her so much.  

Even with the travel bug in me, I have a peace about coming home to stay.  I know I will be back home for good.  I always come home.  I can’t imagine leaving for good.  I can do short term away, but I think I will always return home.

People here keep telling me how they came for a season and have been here for years now.  I may stay longer than originally planned (they say the money is as good or better in the summer working banquets and such), but I don’t think I could stay long term.  I feel like I’m supposed to buy a house in Des Moines.  That still hasn’t changed since July ’07.  I’m not sure when that will happen, but it’s still my long term goal, and even being here is working towards that. No promises about exactly when,  but I will be home again.
