Lonely.

I try to let this blog just be about general Goodman news, which is mostly happy and upbeat. I am a mostly happy and upbeat person, so I guess I feel like I can't write sad things. Like I don't want people to think something is wrong with me, and I have no idea who all reads this blog. 

But today I am feeling lonely. I wish that I could go see my new little niece, Claire, who I'm very happy about. I just found out that the trip to Colombia is out of the question, due to my work. Ron is on a business trip today and will be back tomorrow afternoon. I do like alone time sometimes, but knowing he is so far away right now makes me feel small. I miss my Mom and Dad and the little kids, and I'm glad they wrote me letters. I just wish that I could go to the park with them right now, but I have to go paint my study. Alone, although I will put Odyssey on so I feel like I'm not alone. I miss all my extended family, and want to watch my cousins play baseball and run cross country. 

Really, my life is going pretty well right now, but I feel like Texas is practically the end of the earth. Particularly Waco, Texas. I don't mind most of the time, because Ron and I can't see much farther than each others' eyes. But family is so important to both of us, and I want my family to know they are missed.

You have a family worth missing. Your wonderful mom is throwing me a Baby shower tomorrow and I wish you could be here for it too. Danny is my bestest friend and I wish you could be here to hear him say "macaroni." It is the best thing ever. Ask him to say it on the phone sometime. Praying that God keeps you company today.

We miss you, too, Sweetie. I wish we could go together to take turns cherishing little Claire and her mommy, and then I would bring you back here to paint the boys' room and take the kids to the park. After that we could have a Jane Austen movie-marathon and maybe I would even watch Les Miserables with you! That's how much I love you! Mom
