Things to look forward to

As I sit here at work I can't help but think about all of the things to be excited about right now. The #1 thing I am excited about is my very good friend from California is coming for a visit. Mariko! Friend! I'm so excited for her visit. She arrives on September 11th and leaves on September 16th. Her visits here are never long enough, but I'll take what I can get! I'll get to see her again soon enough after that. #2 on my list right now is our housewarming parties. We will be having one for the family and another one for friends (which is conveniently scheduled during Mariko's visit). And #3 would be going back home to Cali in October to see Mariko and to go to my ten-year high school reunion. I can NOT believe it has been TEN YEARS already!!! I actually had my 10 year anniversary of living here in TN. August 22nd, 1998 is the day I arrived. I do love it here and now the family is all here too so it makes it all the better. Ta-ta for now!
