Time is so precious and I often times forget that. Last Wednesday, I was able to spend time with Jesus in adoration and it was wonderful to just sit in the quiet and journal. I felt so calm and relaxed when I left the chapel. I look forward to spending time with Him every Wednesday during Lent.
Thursday evening, I picked Jenae up from the airport! We went out to eat after that and then by the time we got back to the airport, it was about time for me to go to bed so I could wake up on time for school in the morning. We had an early release Friday but I didn't get back to the apartment til around 2:45 so as soon as I showered, Jenae and I went to the mall and walked around to build up our appetite. We ate at a restaurant close the apartment and just relaxed and talked. That evening we rented a movie and just spent time together. Saturday we slept in a little and after a lazy morning, tried to hit the beach. We got there and it was super windy so after about an hour, we decided we'd go grab a quick lunch and then possibly lay out by the pool behind my apartment. We were both drained from the hot sun so we ended up being lazy once again that afternoon and then finally both straightened our hair to go pick up another movie and dinner. She did some packing last night and then we both went to bed since we had to be up early to drop her off at the airport. She left around 6:15 this morning. These past 3 days seem to have gone by so fast!
While I realize it may seem like she and I did not do much while she was down in Miami, that's not what either of us really wanted. I could have taken her sight-seeing and driver her around to a ton of places but really, I just wanted to be with her and enjoy some much needed sister time. We shared funny stories, reminisced about old times at home, and talked about future plans. Any time that you spend with someone is an act of love. She could have easily not paid a large sum of money to come down here to visit but she did. That's not to say that you should buy someone's love but the time you take to call someone, send them an email, or send a text, and if you should be so lucky, go be with them in person, is time well spent. I know that I can't really spend time in person with my friends and family from home but I do try to send emails, texts, make phone calls, or Skype with them when I can to remind that I still care.
I will be home one month from today for Spring Break and I'm so excited but I have so much going in this next month. I hope I can keep up with it all. Have a lovely start to your first full week of March!
