Christmas Eve.
Maybe elementary school?
Remember that feeling? You were so excited you could hardly sit still! The house started to fill with people. It was snowing outside. Your mom told you to tuck in your shirt or straighten your dress. Everyone around you was laughing and wishing each other Merry Christmas. The fanciest plates in the house were filled with food and long-stemmed glasses for the grown-ups were being passed out. Your mom got out the good candy, and you were allowed to eat some before dinner. Church was coming later, and there you'd get to see the live nativity, see your friends and sing Christmas carols. You run around and try to find the other children. You have way more energy than normal. You get to stay up past your bedtime. It's Christmas...tomorrow.
That's how I feel right now. I am physically having a hard time sitting still. My heart is probably beating faster than it's normal resting pace. And I have to consciously force my face to stop smiling. No one else is here. I'm at my house all alone...smiling. I want to jump up and down and hug someone. And I will...in a few hours.
Because in a few hours...I'll BE in Colorado.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
