Did ya catch it?

"Ok Manda, I'm gonna blow you a kiss, are ya ready?"

"Alright bud I'm ready!"

*Blows a kiss into the phone*

"Did ya catch it?"

"Of course, right on the cheek. Are you ready for mine?"

"Ok, go!"

*Blows a kiss back*

"Did you catch it?"

"I did, right on my nose Manda! I love you!"

Talking to my niece and nephew on the phone always makes my day. They're the cutest things ever! Saying goodbye over the phone with them is definitely one of my favorite things....Who knew little kisses over the phone could be so incredibly sweet. It makes me want them to stay little forever, and never grow out of their little child innocence..

Distance...

Warning...the following post may contain slight complaining and a little sadness.

I miss my sister like crazy. I don't know any other way to put it. I miss sitting next to her talking about anything and everything. I miss playing with my nieces and nephew. I miss my brother-in-law making fun of me for my lack of knowledge with all things cars. I even miss the way both Amber and Rusty would combine forces and embarrass me until my cheeks were almost permanently red.

Sure we talk on the phone pretty frequently. But it's not the same. Plus, being Amber, they are super involved in just about everything. T-ball, zumba, swim lessons, dance lessons...and the list goes on. I'm excited they're loving their new little life....but I miss having them close.

I miss being able to just drive up to her house when I needed someone to talk to. She knows me more then I know myself half the time. She is one of the people that knows all of me...the good, bad and everything in between and still loves me. I love the time we spend together, laughing til my stomach kills, trying weird foods, watching movies, random adventures, even our ridiculous moments of being frustrated with each other... I also miss all the quirky, hilarious things she does.

Most of all...I just miss my best friend. Especially this week.

It's time to start planning a road trip to good ol' Colorado!
