Impatient.

I don't even know what I'm waiting for, but I would love a call/email/facebook message/wall post/etc. from Eric. I just got off the train a couple hours ago, and left a message on his home phone that I got home alright (among other forms of communication) but now I'm dying to hear from him. It'll be about 13 weeks until our next scheduled reunion (or 3 months from today) unless by some rare stroke of luck we manage to find a way to see each other before then.

It was strange, taking the train from Minneapolis/St Paul to Chicago and then on to Holland. The 8 hours from MSP to Chicago went by so quickly (but I was engrossed with a project on my computer for most of it, organizing pictures and whatnot) but the 3.5 hours from Chicago to Holland seemed to take forever. By that time I simply wanted to be home, even though the book I started has been unexpectedly wonderful. I had no idea that Lauren Winner's book Girl meets God would be as good as it is, or that it would catch my attention the way it has. Her struggle between Jewishness and Christianity mirrors the same tensions I feel about Reformed doctrine and everything else. Sure, it's on a smaller scale (maybe) but it's still something to wrestle with. More later, possibly.

At any rate, I have a rather long day ahead of me tomorrow, and being sprawled out on my bed is not helping me stay awake. I'll just have to hope that I hear from my handsome beau soon enough.

Loves.
