4,208.2 miles aways

Today I was really missing my friends. I heard someone make a really cheesy pun and all I could think was "that was a Troy joke" and I wanted it to be Troy who actually made the joke and I wanted Heather to be here with me so we could roll our eyes together and I can tease her and say "Hey, you're the one who married him..." Alas, my friends are thousands of miles away. I found out today that the distance between Glen Ellyn, IL and Madrid (Barajas) is 4,208.2 miles. That is so far away.

So I dedicate this post to my dear friends who are 4,208.2 miles away from me... here are just some of the things I miss...
-Hearing Heather yelling at Lexi over and over again only to have it end with "Troy, come yell at the dog"
-Troy's ridiculous puns that I could not help but laugh at
-Heather's and my daily walks (I think Heather was the one who would trip on the curb all the time... it was hillarious)
-Troy's and my commercial-- Jam-off: whenever you're in a jam, get the jam.
-Just a quote to add to the above-- "there's even salami on the wall!"
-Cafe con helado every Tuesday with Heather
-Sausage man (I'll leave it at that)
-Great conversations with Heather on our way to pick up the kids from school
-Great conversations with Troy on our way to community group every Monday
-Swimming at the pool with Meg and Nic
-Listening to music in the mornings while eating my toast and drinking my coffee (I usually had the orange cup!)
-Watching movies almost every night
-Trying to get that darn tv to stay on
-Talking on instant messenger with Heather while she sat in the same room as me
-Watching Tom and Gerry with the kids
-Heather's homemade pizza
-The way Nic would copy everything his dad would do
-The way Meg would asks her questions in a brittish way (so adorable)
-Meg's sly ways
-Nic's laughter
-Candyland and freeze tag
-My square meals that Troy was so afraid I wasn't getting
-And so much more

This would all be very touching and sweet if it were not for the LIE about who fell off the curb!

Did our route with Sarah on Friday and missed you.

Come home why don't ya?
