The Only Thing

okay, so there's only one reason i wanna go back home. my nieces and nephews.

my mom called tonight and told me this little story...

(oh...but you need a little background info...when i stayed at their house during july i'd always let A (what we call Adria!) look at doggies and horseys on my google images. since it was dial-up it'd take a while to load so to make it more worth the wait i'd always go "Dun-dun-duuuun!" when the pics would finally load. we did this just about a dozen times a day!)

so tonight A was going around saying that..."dun-dun-dunnn!" about various things. then she just stopped and said, "call jenny...tell her come home...she stay in there [pointing to the room i stayed in]"

well, this melted my heart. so then she put A on the phone and she said, "you come home". (my heart is now a giant puddle on the floor.) then i told her that she had to come here to see me. at which point she said "i drive there now." i almost cried. she's 2 1/2 now and will be almost 4 by the time i see her again (most likely). it kills me!!!!!!!! and tristan called and woke me up last saturday to tell me about losing his first tooth.

i know that seems like so little, but i totally adore those kids and miss them like nobody's business. i wonder if i could convince my sister to move here....hm?
