The weather we have been having is quite mild, but it definitely LOOKS like fall around here. I'm loving it. Loving the season change and the new energy that comes with it.
Paul comes home from his two month medical excursion late Friday night. Just in time to cook up chili and watch football on Halloween. I will be dressing up as myself. Only more excited. Paul will be dressing up as Jet Lagged.
I talked to my mom for a bit last night and she said "Elise, I am impressed with how happy you seem." Which is code for, "Elise, Dad and I are so surprised you have not called us every night crying about how you were rattling around the apartment all alone." I laughed, because she's right. I feel very content - not just alone in the apartment, but out here on this coast. Paul and I have made a little nest here. And as much as I want to get back to California some day, I know that if we get matched at a hospital here we'll be fine. Happy even.
It's such a relief to realize that.
