An Unexpected,Yet Welcomed Phone Call

Friday, after I got home from school, my sisters and I had just finished our afternoon chores. They were upstairs annoying the crap out of everyone by practicing thier trumpets, and I was down stairs watching one of my favorite new shows that I have recorded. (Chicago Fire... It scares me so much, but I am so addicted to it.) My phone started viberating, so I paused the TV. I didn't recognize the number, but I answered anyway. After I said hello, I heard a somewhat familiar childish voice say, "Hi Stazia! I miss you so much! Come babysit me again!" It was little Jordyn. I babysat her and her little brother Marshall when I lived in Ogallala. (This was one of the state trooper families I babysat for.) Then I heard the familiar voice of little Marshall say, "Hi Sawah!" (He can't say Stazia, so he calls me Sarah.) This almost brought tears to my eyes. I love these kids so much, and the fact that they miss me as much as I missed them was almost too much to handle. The phone must have been on speaker phone because I could hear their Dad, Aaron, talking in the background. He informed me that they were selling their house in Ogallala and have already moved to Grand Island. The kids told me all about their new church and the new verses they had memorized. They asked me about my softball season and about how school was going. Aaron informed me that they would make a trip to Lincoln to see us sometime. It made me so happy to hear that they were adjusting easily to their new house. As we said our goodbyes, Jordyn said, "Please come see me soon Stazia. I miss you." This little four-year-old is breaking my heart, just absolutely melting it. The kids don't know this yet, but on Wednesday, my Mom and I have to make a trip to Kearney for my orthodontist appointment (I know... no more excuses to make random trips to Ogallala :(....). Mom said on the way home from Kearney we would stop and see them in Grand Island! I can't wait to see these guys!
