Excitement

I'm excited these days because there are a lot of great things going on:

1. My guy is coming to visit in June, after four months in different hemispheres.  I am beyond excited, especially since we're planning to do some traveling while he's here, and we'll also spend time wiht my family.  Then we'll go together to the UK for a week and see his family, who will be gathered as his sister gets her Ph.D., and then I'll head back to Mumbai with him and stay there for about 6 weeks.  I'm looking forward to having a good extended period of time together, since we're still not sure how our permanent arrangement will work out.
2. My friend, Erin, and I made hula hoops on Saturday.  I was skeptical, but it was super fun, as was spending the day with her.  We had a great lunch at Eleven City Diner, and always have good conversations about life.
3. My sister, brother-in-law, and niece are coming to visit together in a week and a half, for the first time since fall of 2009 (though my sister has been up once since).  I am excited to hang out with them and for Caitlin to get to see the city, beach, trains, and all.
4. I've been reading a lot lately - and really loving it.  I am always looking for my next reading break so I can get back to my latest book.  I love anticipating the others in the stack that's waiting for me when I finish my current one (a biography of Marie Antoinette).
5. My parents just had their 40th wedding anniversary, and they are going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks.  I have to admit that even though I have done and am planning more travel of my own, I'm a bit jealous. :)
