Can I be liker her some day?

So, guess who emailed today. That's right: the Firefigher. Sigh. That boy. Anyway, onto more interesting topics.

Today I had dinner with roomie and her mom and sister. It was super sweet of roomie to invite me. And I really really appreciate how outward she is about how happy she is that we are roommates. It really feels nice to be wanted.

Dinner was really nice too. I am so envious of how well off roomie's family is...I mean her mom took us for a really expensive dinner with apps, drinks, desert, the whole nine yards...plus she is taking roomie and her sister out for each meal why she is in town (the whole weekend). It's kind of a weird feeling not to be jealous. I really like roomie and her mom and sister. So I don't feel, I don't know, bad.

I really admire roomie's mom actually. I really really hope that I am just like her when I am her age. She is educated, well-dressed, well-off, confident, funny, fun, smart, generous....I think she's great. She's got a family that she loves to visit. I know it's not all roses for her, but she really seems to have a good handle on life.
