Prince Charming with Slippers

First Thing:
I got to talk to my SEESTER today!!! I loved every minute of it. It's hard to make time to talk to her during the semester but it's so nice to Skype with her and catch up on her life in R Kansas. It's also super nice to see her lovely face. I also spent time drinking coffee and laughing with this Arch girl who I wish I'd taken the time to do this three and a half years ago when we were freshmen instead of now when we're about to graduate. I also got to talk to the MN friend who has longer hair and a pretty new ring. Mr. Nix in FL was also kind enough to get online in place of his wife (who can be called a slacker for this post and this post only) and it was nice to talk to him too. I also finally had the chance to talk to my mom!!! It's been a long time and I was starting to miss her lots and lots. Thankfully we had a nice and long conversation. Then my grandmother called me back (something she doesn't like to do because she's afraid she'll bother me) and it was so good to talk to her. And then I was able to talk to Nate while he was waiting around to do some important/unimportant (who knows) things. Then he signed off. Then signed back on again. Then signed off again. Now the debate is whether or not to go to bed or stay up and wait to see. It's a game of uncertainty. I think sleep is more important now. Sorry Mr. Norton.

Second Thing:
I am pretty sure that I found out today that Nate and I are meant to be soul mates. I am serious. We are and this conclusion comes down to slippers. Purple plaid ones to be exact. Today I get a text from Nate (an awesome thing we discovered while he's gone) that asked me point blank what slipper size I wore. Well why in the world would he want to know this? I haven't had slippers since I was in like 10th grade but I'll admit I've always wanted another pair but couldn't be bothered. So he told me he wanted to buy my slippers. Slippers that cost approximately $5.99 and that are actually very cute. So I picked out some slippers and told him my size. Fast forward to the conversation with my mom. I told my mom that you wanted to buy me slippers and I thought it was kind of funny because it was kind of random. She told me well maybe he knows the inter-workings of your heart and your secret desires. (She was trying to be funny, I promise she's not weird). But guess what? Maybe he does. Maybe we're just on the same wave length. Maybe we're soul mates. Or maybe it's all of the above. It doesn't matter. I have just been smiling nonstop over these slippers. It's something so small and worth $6 in price but it is worth so much more in smiles and thoughts and love to me (I know this sounds cheesy, but I'm totally serious). He has me smiling over slippers . . . Do you realize how small and insignificant that sounds? And yet it means the world to me. I just made the connection. Slipper. They call it a glass slipper in Cinderella . . . her prince charming finds it and puts it on her foot. He can be my prince charming, I guess. If he wants. I never thought slippers could mean so much to me but they do. Now this last part about Cinderella might just be crazy. People always say that Disney gave them false expectations . . . I stand corrected. I'm getting slippers. I am getting the very thing that has made me smile non stop since about 12:20 pm. I am getting the thing that I haven't told anyway I wanted but secretly wanted in my heart.

Soul mates. How else would he have known?
And seriously. I am getting slippers. And they will be awesome.
