My lovie's bday!

I woke up Friday January 14th with major anxiety. My nephews first birthday was the next day and I still didn't have a ticket home. My stomache felt sick. I may sound dramatic, maybe I am dramatic, but I don't care. I felt like I had to be there. No, I wanted to be there. Later that day I booked a flight. I had been looking at flights for over a week. My mom was helping too. Found a great one when I first started looking but of course did not book it and the prices just went crazy from there. I took an over night flight that Friday night and didn't sleep. My awesome aunt Wendy who I miss so much picked me up, late I must add(haha). Oh duh! I forgot to say this was all a SURPRISE to my family!!! Only my parents, Wendy, cousin Kristen & Billy and Leah knew. This was so exciting to me! I could not wait to show up! Wendy said to me "You can't just walk in there. Here, wear this big coat and put the hood over your head, I am gona say you're my friend from work." Me "Uumm ok!' It was funny when we walked through my brother and Sarah's door to hear her tell my brother I brought my friend from work. I was sweating in that damn coat and laughing! I took the hood off and saw my bro and I was so happy I was there. He gave me a big hug and was excited to surprise Sarah so he said to take the coat off and he called to her. I am pretty sure I was teary eyed at this point from happiness and lack of sleep. She came around the corner and saw it was me and gave me a big hug also! Then I made my rounds talking to the families about my surprise. And when I held my lovie it felt so good! I got to spend a brief time with my him but I loved every second of it. We went out for lunch after his wicked long nap and that was great to spend time with just him, Sarah and my brother. He is getting so big and he is so freakin cute. I could just look at him forevaaaa. That face. I am trying not to feel like I am missing out on a lot of stuff with him but I know I am. Ya ya I was home twice in like 3 weeks but still! He is at such a cute stage. Thank gosh for skype so I get to see and hear him through all this!! He smiles at me when we skype and comes right up to the laptop! So funny! It makes me feel so good. I don't want him to forget me. OK! So when is my next trip back??!! :*)
