SIgns from Above??

So, this weekend, I have been pretty bumbed out about how dissapointing everything has been with Ari....during the week, I am so busy with my internship that I dont have time to think about being lonely or missing tallahassee. I get such a rush teaching and being productive.

Its the weekends that kill me. The down time...it sucks (clap clap, clap clap). So I have been keeping really busy during the weekend. I was out every night last weekend with Ari, but since he seems to be bipolar (funny how i attract the crazies), I cant rely on him to spend time with me. AND Jenny was gone this weekend doing grad school auditions...so i was really worried that this weekend was going to be a depressing one...


AND THEN....a miracle happened!

Her name is Toni Sanchez. She is one of my best friends from school, and me and her are basically the same person. She and Joel came down to stay at the hard rock this weekend!!! I was SOOOOO relieved- two of my favorite people all in the same place.

I headed out to meet them at the mall to get some party clothes and on the way I said my prayers and was thankful that my friends were close to me. I finnally got to them, and things seemed like we had never been apart. We went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner and I told them about Ari and jenny and kris. They immediately hated Ari, already knew Jenny, and wanted to meet Kris.....

I was a little sad on the way to dinner because I wished Jenny and Kris were there with me....


AND THEN, Miracle No. 2 happened...

I get a message from Kris' computer that he has been using in Haiti....its says "Im coming home"...

They sent him back home via helicopter because he needed to pick up more equipment...

The following message says "I will be at the hardrock in an hour"

I just about peed my pants...I was trying to calculate how long we would be in South Beach for dinner and how soon I could get to see Kris, and it wasnt looking good bc it was already late and he said he wasnt going to stay for long....

THEEEENNNN...Miracle No. 3- the highway we were on was CLOSED COMPLETELY.....

We turned around and I felt butterflies in my stomach...I was going to really get to see Kris!

We had dinner together, took a shot and had a couple of drinks. It was so comforting to see him there infront of me, safe and ok. He was laughing and smiling, and I was no longer worried about the effects of Haiti on him, becuase he really seemed ok and just like himself. He later stayed with his roomates at the tables while me, Toni, and Joel went to the pub. I said goodnight to him two times and went up to my room and slept well knowing he was ok and saying my thanks because I got to see him. He is going back today, but he says he will be back soon, and I feel my worry for him lessening because I have seen him come back ok.

I am a strong believer in thinking that everything happens for a reason...and someone, somewhere heard my wish that I wanted to see him and needed my friends this weekend....and someone answered.

What a great weekend. I am totally energized and ready for another week of teaching. And I hope Kris, Toni, and Joel all come back soon, because I love them so much!

Live, Love, Laugh.....Motto of this weekend. Peace
