as i unpack

as i unpack from my big move, there are many emotions coming at the same time. first and foremost, thank you, thank you, thank you to dad and jason!!!! i'm so grateful to both of you for driving all the way out here and spending time with me in my new apartment. i don't know what i'd do without you guys.
as i unpack, there are so many things i haven't seen in a little over a year and there are so many memories that i'm coming across. i actually unpacked a box yesterday that had birthday cards from the age of 12 through 18!! they were great to go through, but i was also reminded of how seldom birthday cards are sent anymore. the funniest thing, and the most special, i've come across while unpacking are my frogs. i had one whole box of nothing but frogs and as i unwrapped them tonight, i couldn't help but laugh and cry about almost all of them. i was reminded of when i got them and who i got them from. they are truly one of my most special possessions because everyone of them came from everyone of you; and i remember when and who i got them from. you can all be sure, there is a little part of you in every inch of this apartment. it makes me miss home a lot some days, but i feel as close you all of as you as ever at the same time.
i'll post pictures soon, i just need to pick up a little first!! :)
miss you and love you all.
