Nicole!...Ensign!!!

So I’m super missing you lately because you don’t have msn or skype or facebook and you don’t check your email very often, and I don’t phone you cause it’s long distance (although my mom told me a while ago that I can phone friends – they’re paying for it – so I will phone you a couple times next semester =) I don’t even know if you’ll even see this... Pretty much every time I read a poem I think of you and Elisabeth and reading poems together in the library. I can’t wait to go skating with you guys at Christmas. You’re the people I can tell everything to and expect a good long story in return. You’re an amazing writer. You don’t sell yourself short on anything. Remember that story you told me about the Boy Scout with the cookies or chocolate or whatever it was? (don't ask me why I thought of that...) Even that, I think, had meaning to it, because you got a lesson out of it. If it had happened differently, what would you have noticed about it? Anyway whatever. I can’t wait for Christmas (and next summer I guess, since Christmas isn’t that long) to watch Scrubs and/or the Big Bang Theory with you =) And go skating and all that jazz. I love you so much and can’t wait to see you soon!

I'm done all my assignments and all I have left is two days of class and finals. So time can speed up now. (this isn't yours. I just wanted to tease you)

Friggin love it. Crashing on the couch with a bunch of friends, my computer, a letter, a cup of white hot chocolate from the Level, and MUSIC ♥ And of course, some line dancing =)

Every day I sit in class or in my room and almost always talk to you. You always make me laugh (whether with your stories of spilled drinks in SB or your secondhand stories of rolled Honda Civics ;) I've almost beat the game =P I love you and even though I'd miss you like crazy if you moved to like, Africa or stayed in Kelowna or whatever ;), I hope you find somewhere you'll love. Don't undervalue the friends you have at school. You friends from home might be moving away, but that doesn’t mean you have none left. And I know you’re almost 22, but you can still make new ones =) I LOVE having you for a sister and being so far from home, I appreciate you more and more. You’re hilarious, sweet, fun, and most of all so caring. I love you so much. PS. Congrats on the trail lighting practicum! You're putting in so much work and even if you aren't around for the results, everyone else will appreciate it so much!

You have no idea how much I miss you. Whenever I look at my title for the blog, I think of you...dance like a fool =P And smiling, of course. You think you're doing so much wrong *cough*chem*cough* but you are just so good. You always listen and have something encouraging to say, and you don't let people get away with being dolts. You're not a very good host but that's okay cause I feel comfortable in your house anyway =) I'd trust you with anything. You’re annoyingly good at the trumpet (in other words, better than me haha). Can’t wait for the final concert so I can actually watch (and CHEER) for you guys! You’re strong and an amazing friend. An amazing friend with a taste for banana butt bread. Love you♥

I freaking love your hugs. And I'm ridiculously jealous of your piano playing skills. Don't let life bring you down too much...cause then it's not life. (Remind me to tell you about the guy we learned about in philosophy...Nietzsche.) Make some hot chocolate and stick a mint teabag in it and curl up in a nice chair or on your bed with a good book (I'll be happy to supply you with one, if you like). Don't go on the computer, don't talk to me or anybody else, don't do homework for a while...just read. Pray, too. I recently rediscovered how important prayer is. Don’t let it fall away. Spend an afternoon with yourself, God, and a good book. You’re a sweetheart, a talented musician, a great hugger, you’re “in touch with your emotions” (even though I really don’t like that way of putting it, hence the quotes =P). Hope you catch the hidden meaning in there...You’re a tiny (relative to me, anyway =D) bundle of life that I miss so much every day. I love you! 17 days!

I love my friends. I miss you guys like CRAZY. Can't wait to see you in 18 days!!!! There will be some of the greatest hugs ever. ♥
