Well, once again it's been a while since I've written or posted pictures. I thought I'd be better but I guess I've had other things to take up my time... Laszlo, other kids, friend, family, and my man... so yea it's been awhile. But now I have a few hours as I sit here early in the morning waiting to check in for my flight home. And speaking of home, home or rather family came to me this May but now I am able to go home to them too! It's been almost 2 years since I've been home and 3 years since I've seen my Grandma. And so I'm soon on my way! About one more hour til 5 am and then I can check in. The past few days I've been trying to stay a bit more on top of things, but still it was a crazy rush to get to the bus on time, throw my stuff in my case ( I hope my clothes kind of match while I'm home :) and get some goodies for family and some to leave for Laz along with notes from Mama and photos of him and me. Oh my...I hate goodbyes. I love that kid and it was harder then ever to leave this time. I hope the next time I head home he can come with me. I already said goodbye about every week for 2 weeks as my family left at different times... I'm not sure what is worse, all at once or 1 by 1? I watched the sunset as I left Marghita and had some prayers and tears for my baby. Then I slept a bit and thought about the things I forgot and the things I hoped I remembered. Regardless, it will be good to be with family again! I hope to see as many friends as possible while I'm home but also have time with the family.
So, as I think back to the last few months I would say it was filled with spring blossoms that smelled so lovely as I walked up my little hill and rounded the corner to my place; rain and thunderstorms, the friday market which I love...but in May it was shopped by my Mom and Sisters! Lots of fruit and veggies, flowers, fresh basil, and aprons were bought and also fresh made cheese - Brunza! There was a trip to Greece with the Boyfriends and sisters...Athens and the Beach...would for sure go back again! The Sea was amazing and it's been so long since I've been there. Then it was anticipation for Laz for hi Grandpa and Buni to come ( grandma in romanian)...he was oh so excited!!! Plus, since Grandpa got there before Mama got back from Greece, he was able to come to the small airport in Oradea to pick up his Mama and all his aunts! He was a bit overwhelmed, but he did get to see real planes for the first time. And it was only our plane that flew in...I guess maybe just one flight a day! There were bike rides and wheelchair rides, lunch together and the park with Buni. A tour through some of the lovely mountains of Romania and lunch by a river, rock throwing and skipping, wadding and splashing and pretend fishing :) And then Laz and I had a day on our own...a day on the moon! His favorite story that Buni reads to him is when 'Little Bear goes to the moon'. So we made a moon and stars and space helmets, painted our faces, built a tent and flew to the moon! It was a very chill, very fun day just us two! Oh, and we also went swimming with Aunt Allie...that was a nice day too since it had been so hot. Then we left her at the train and waved goodbye...so planes and trains Laz had now seen.
