I miss Fletcher!

I have been in Sydney now for 2 months! While it seems to have flown by in many ways, it's also seems like a lifetime since I left the States. For about the last week or two, I have really felt far away. Despite cell phones that are clear as a bell and Skype (which is probably the best invention ever of mankind) to keep connected, it's just hard to be away from my family and close friends.


There are too many things I miss to even begin to list them all (daily Starbucks jaunts with Inna and Allen, twice weekly cocktail hour with Eileen via the phone, queso and margaritas with Tammy, abusive middle-of-the-night texts from Christian, dinners with Patrick, the dog park trips with Tammy, Ike & Fletcher, phone calls that were less then $1/minute with my sisters, my yoga studio's Monday night 8PM class, just being only 4-5 hours drive away from my parents/nephews, my Heavenly bed, etc) and they are all really just my every day life "stuff". But that every day "stuff" is your life, and even when you take the plunge and dive head first into an AMAZING life experience, it's the daily little things you end up missing so much. Isn't it funny how life throws curveballs your way every so often to be sure you don't take the important things for granted?


But what I miss the MOST (other than family and close friends) is my beloved dog, Fletcher. We did everything together! And I find myself on weekends thinking that it would be so fun to have him here.  He'd love it, and those ^%#*ing cockroaches wouldn't stand a chance in heck with him on the prowl. Anyway, my Mom and Dad are so great to put up with me having full-on conversations with Fletcher via Skype. And Mom sends me almost daily pictures of Fletcher, which is just so so awesome.


Here are two from tonight (his morning). The first I can only assume is him waiting for me to skype with him, since that's where he sits when we do.

When is she going to call already????

The second must be of him after my Mom told him that my skype isn't working. :( Look at that face!

Oh man! Not only did they wake me up at 7 am, but no skyping either?

I fly home on 8 July for two weeks, and can't wait to see everyone (including Fletcher)!


Until next time...xoxo
