SENTIMENTAL

I'm feeling a little less restless today.  Last night we got nearly two inches of rain, and at one point the lightning was literally non-stop.  I love falling asleep to the sound of rain and rolling thunder, even if it is in the middle of the night.  Today is just a lazy, cool, cloudy Saturday; and it's kind of nice.  

Chris is taking another trip soon, and I'm a little sad about it.  We've spent nearly every minute of the last 3 weeks together, and I feel closer to him than ever.  We've now been married for five years, and I can't remember life without him; it seems like he's been a part of me from the beginning.  Neither one of us is perfect, but it's nice to have someone you can count on through thick and thin.  

On another note, I just have to say that I love the Olympics.  I'm sentimental about them; I see them as the epitome of honor and glory.  I know there is money wrapped up in everything nowadays, but the Olympics still seem to me to be about the honor and glory of just being and doing your best.  It's so wonderful to see so many different countries come together, even if they are competing against one another.  I love seeing all of the different flags and hearing the different national anthems and seeing that they draw the same reaction of pride and sentiment from each person.
