I LOVE technology!
I've been trying to get Lizzie to get on Skype for 2 years. I bought us both web cams before she left, I got my skype set up, and then....she didn't do it. One reason was because she couldn't find the box she packed the camera in, the other was because she thought that Skype would actually make being apart worse because we couldn't really hang out. After much begging I finally got her on Skype.
It's funny how something as simple as Skype can make you feel like your old self again. Not being around my family or my friends that I've known forever, I don't always feel like the me I was back home. I don't know how much of it is because I'm married and maybe I've matured a bit, or how much is because I'm out of my element (a year and a half later), but today I felt like the old me :o) And that's a nice feeling.
Today I was able to meet her new puppies, and she met my baby boy; I was able to look at her wedding album that she got today AND all the pretty, new decorations she got for her place from her NOLA trip- things I would only get to hear about over the phone if not for Skype. There's nothin else like it (other than being there in person...obviously).
Skype dates will definitely be a regular occurrence now. Maybe we'll even have a Starbucks, Skype date next time. Oh the possibilities!
