Be Still My Heart

Guess what little treasure decided to show up in honor of our 3 year anniversary at this midnight hour as I was packing for the Heffernan reunion? Yes, your eyes are seeing right. MY FAVORITE NECKLACE OF ALL TIME THAT I THOUGHT I LOST FOREVER AND EVER LAST NOVEMBER. (Remember that brokenhearted post?)

Pure HAPPPPPIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNEEEESSSSS.

I was cleaning out my computer bag to create more room for my packing and after I had emptied all the remains of my graduate school experience (you know - blow pops, melted mini snicker bar, a power surge cord - the important stuff) it still felt heavy for some reason. I started unzipping every possible zipper and I reach my hand in a totally obscure pocket and pulled out my "lost" pink jewelry travel bag that I thought I left in a dumb Denver hotel room. My heart skipped a beat. Were my eyes fooling me? Was it an illusion? Was I imagining something that could never be? NO. NO. NO. NO. NO I wasn't. It was really all my jewelry but most importantly there was my necklace. My necklace that represented so much of our beginnings. My own version of a Carrie necklace. After 9 months it found me again. It found me. {tear}.

I have no words.

I will go to sleep happy. Complete even.

It's the little things, my friends. It's the little things.

Grad school friends: Can you believe it was in my computer bag all those days? My hands were so close to it every Tuesday and Thursday. Ahhhh.... my necklace was right there with us. This is crazy talk.
