When Paul left, we figured we would be able to video chat often. But when he got there, the internet connection wasn't strong enough to support it. This morning, for some reason, it worked and we were finally able to see each other. Had I known it was coming, I might have done something about my bed head and changed out of my nightgown. But I didn't, and it was still good. There were lots of happy tears and smiles. AND OH MAN, is video so much better than the phone. Hoping for many more of these the next few months.
(And anticipating a technical question - we use gmail video chat.)
