Tonight, I realized what my comfort food is. It's not chocolate, it's not ice cream...it doesn't even have much sugar, if any at all, I've never checked. Cheese. Medium Cheddar Cheese, preferably grated or in cubes, is my comfort food. Life has been getting back into "happy-go-lucky" for me again with work, and I love it. But these last couple days, I have been thinking (que Gaston singing "A dangerous pastime I know!"), but I have. I had a talk with some of the girls at work last night and realized that I needed to change the way I am doing something...but I can't reveal what that change is until it happens. And then today, dear Betsy came over to visit another apartment and stumbled upon me along her way. She vented to me for a bit, and then I filled her in on some stuff, she filled me in on some stuff and this led me to more thinking. And left my heart with a slight twinge. I wouldn't classify it as breaking, because it's not as bad as it could be. Also, I have been thinking so much about my boys lately. I miss them...a lot. I am fortunate and have frequent contact with Spence through e-mail even though he is literally on the other side of the world in Russia. There are few things these days that make me happier than getting my personal e-mails from him. Man I love that guy. I can't wait for him to come home in 11 months and twirl me through the air while giving me the tightest hug he can, as is our tradition. And then there's John, who I haven't heard from in 10 months. He is in Samoa and the mail system over there isn't terribly scheduled, plus I'm sure he's super busy working his absolute hardest, because he always gives everything 150%. But I love that boy too. He has never once put me down in any way, shape or form, we laugh together like no guy I've laughed with before (except spence, but it's usually the three of us.) Then there's McKay. As happy as I am that he is busy and doing well out there in Missouri preaching the gospel, I wish he could find a small window of time to write me, it's been over 4 months since I've heard from my best friend. I am supportive of him though, it would be dumb for me to let him know just how much I miss talking to him. The boy has been gone over 18 months now and I still pull my phone out, get half way through a text to him, and then realize if I push send, he's not going to get it. He comes home soon though, that is good, less than six months. His family is so sweet, I talked to his sister over facebook the other day and their mom got in on it too, I love them to death. Anyways, this was just going to be a short post about my comfort food because as I was thinking about all of this tonight, I went in and grabbed my block of cheese and cut off chunks. I love these boys. They are my best friends and I don't know what I did in order to be so blessed to have them in my life. They know me better than just about anybody. I think Ris and Katie are the only ones that know me better than them outside my family. I miss them and can't wait for their return. But I am so proud of them for serving our Lord and I wouldn't have them trade the experience of their mission for anything. Nothing. It is where they are supposed to be. Keep it real out there boys, I am rooting for you and you are in my prayers.
