Mikey's home!

well yes, as the title would suggest, Mike arrived home from his ultra-long trip on friday... i got home on saturday... see, for those of you who don't know, i was in Noosa this week... oh, and Mike's been in Europe since November... yes, it's an interesting amount of time to be away from the other part of a couple, but he's home now, so i'm no longer dwelling... although i did laugh this morning at church when Jen got incredibly excited about Mike coming home. Not that i wasn't excited or anything, it was just odd to hear my friend squealing and jumping around at the thought of my boyfriend coming home... perhaps she'd just had too much sugar already... or not enough sleep... i don't know... i am very excited to have Mike home, but i wasn't quite jumping around the way Jen was... it was however, very amusing to watch her doing so!

wow... i started this post at 8:44pm and now it's 9:22pm... i guess i got distracted... blame alistair and caro...

anyway! yes, i'm excited Mike's home... i'm not sure why people think i should be more excited than i seem to be though... i mean, Jen's squealing is a prime example for me... what's to say i should be really overly excited like that? i've really enjoyed seeing Mike last night and today... and things are seeming to slowly get back to the way they were between us... i guess over the last 2 months, i discovered that life continues... i know that sounds really silly... and i did already know that, but it's been really good for me the last couple of days to discover that over the last couple of months i've grown into knowing that it's great to be with Mike, and he really is a blessing and makes me incredibly happy, but it's also been great to see more of my friends and get to know them better through the time. Some of the conversations i've had the past few months have really boosted my self esteem and made me think about what's important to me and the world. As much as i missed Mike the last 2 months and wished he could be there with me at times, i really wouldn't trade that time. being away from Mike was really hard, but i think the things i've learnt will be things which will definately help in the long run.
