BREAKFAST DATE AT THE HERSHEY PANTRY

It is amazing how two short weeks could make a married couple (who had survived an almost two-year stint of long distance relationship) miss each other so very much.

Vince left the Philippines ahead of me.  Thank God, I telecommute for work, I was able to stay back for another two weeks despite the limited paid time-offs I got.  During those days that Vince and I were not physically together, we constantly called, texted, emailed and video chatted with each other.  I thought two weeks was nothing compared to the summer days and winter nights we once weathered but the epiphany of how much we had missed each other's company dawned on me the moment we reunited.

Stories keep pouring in.  Vince and I have so much to talk about, that it seems like we have not talked to each other for a very long time.  You know that feeling when you see a friend whom you haven't seen for quite a long while, but then instantly you just catch up on things as if you have never been separated at all?  It is even more than that.  It feels like being back on that wavelength that is unique only for us.

It is only my fourth day of being back here in the States, and I am still struggling with jetlag.  In fact, as I write this post, I am fighting the urge to sleep.  Last night I went to bed earlier than my usual bedtime and as expected, I woke up a lot earlier this morning than my body clock was accustomed to previous to my vacation.  Vince, who has been working nights ever since he got back from vacation, texted me this morning and asked what I would like for breakfast.  We already had McDonald's for breakfast yesterday, so I really could not think of anything special.  Plus, my jetlag has been causing weird hunger pangs, that I had to have a sweet fix of chocolate biscuit in the wee hours of this morning.  Anyway, I texted him back saying that nothing comes to my mind in particular, to which he quickly replied, "Treat kita sa Hershey Pantry this morning, gusto mo?!!!!" *loosely translates as, "Would you like me to treat you at Hershey Pantry this morning?!!!!"*  I know that saying yes means I will be late for work, but not for a second did I think twice, and texted him right away, "Ooh lala!!!! Game ako!  Eto bibihis na po!" *loosely translates as, "Ooh lala!!!!  I'm game!  Getting dressed now!"*  Not that I don't value my work, but I just thought that moments like these are simply precious to be disregarded.

The magical feeling of being connected with your better half after being separated and feeling completely whole once again is overwhelming in a positive way.  Being together again made us both feel calm, relaxed, comforted, and assured - just a few of the various emotions we missed while we were apart.  And so this morning, over cups of coffee and tea and plates of omelet and toasts, we celebrated the joy of being together and so in love with each other ♥

I have so many reasons to smile, and one of them is sitting in front of me :)
Another reason is because he is smiling back at me :)
Cinnamon Bread French Toast
Italian Stuffed French Toast
Western Omelet with Toast, Jelly and Home Fries
♪♫ I feel so free, it's like a fantasy
Having you next to me
Suddenly it's magic
One look, one touch
Words just won't say enough
When you fall in love
Suddenly it's magic ♪♫

For the past 19 years, The Hershey Pantry has been voted by the readers of Harrisburg Magazine as the #1 breakfast in Central Pennsylvania.
