Well friends, this will probably be my last blog. It crazy to think that about two months ago, I was headed to Nashville to spend the summer nannying, not knowing exactly what was in store for me. When I left Midway, I was scared. I hate being away from the people I love most and for the past two years I lived for the summer to go to camp. But that wasn't possible this year, so I helped out family.
Tomorrow, I'm going to spend most of my day packing and doing laundry. Sounds fun, right? Tonight when I was giving Camille a bath, she told me that I didn't need to go home to see Sarah (sorry babe) or to see my two puppies. A couple of weeks ago, when Camille and I were playing with my bracelets, my Livestrong bracelet snapped in half, and since that moment, it has been talked about constantly. I told her that I needed to go home to buy her a new bracelet, so when I come visit again I have a surprise for her. I think what she is most sad about is that she won't be able to play "birds" on my kindle fire. I never have seen a three year old more obsessed with anything in my life. It will defiantly be hard saying goodbye to my little mini me and she is now called. Patrick on the other had gets to stay home from "school" tomorrow because he was sent home with a fever today, even though we took his temp as soon as he got home and he was fine. But, it'll be nice to spend a few hours with him. I know he probably isn't old enough to remember all the fun times we have had, but I know that when he comes home from "school" each day, he gives his Chacha a big hug, and sometimes even a wet kiss. It melts my heart. From the time I have been here, he has learned to walk, say some words, climb, eat big boy food, and celebrate his one year old birthday. That is something that I am glad that I was able to be a part of.
Wednesday, is going to be a day of traveling for me. I fly out of Birmingham at 11:25 am. For those of you who don't know..I like to be early for things..and some may say that I like to be to early. So I plan on leaving the house at 8:30 to be there by 9:15. From Birmingham, I fly to Baltimore. Through this whole summer, I never thought that I would be spending a few hours there, even if it is just at the air port. It is a three hour flight, so nothing to bad. Then at 5:50 pm I will board the last flight to the good ol MKE. They say home is where the heart is, and I can defiantly say, my heart has been in Milwaukee (well Rosholt) this whole summer. It is only an hour flight from Baltimore to Milwaukee so that one will seem like nothing. For all of you interested, it is only an hour flight from Chicago to Nashville.
Anyways, I have learned a lot about myself this summer and also the people around me. I have learned that traveling three hours south, will change the environment totally. It almost has a tropical feel to it. I have also learned that people aren't always friendly to others, which breaks my heart, especially because everyone deserves to be loved. When I first started this journey, I was talking to one of my friends, Phillip, and he said that being away from your significant other is really a true test of your relationship. Well you were right my friend. I have learned so much about my relationship, and I have never been happier. You were right, it would be rough at sometimes, but if you were strong enough you would make it. And I'm happy to say, that Sarah and I are making it :) I learned that no matter what kind of mood you are in, if you show just that slight smile to the kiddos and put everything behind you, you can have a fun time with them, and they will really appreciate it.
I hope you guys enjoyed my blog this summer. Maybe, just maybe I'll keep it up :)
Later days my friends,
Chels
