There are some days that I get homesick. Sometimes for no reason at all. I'm pretty good most of the time at being okay away from home but sometimes it just hits me.
I read on my sister Amber's blog today that my nephew Keller, is talking now. He says a bunch of words, when I left he wasn't talking at all. I am missing him learning to talk, I also missed him learning to walk. These are big milestones in his life that I missed out on. By the time I see him he'll be like a year and a half.
Sometimes I forget that people's lives back home are still happening. I guess I just think that their lives are on pause because I'm not there. I realize that is not the case. I know I'm going to miss out on a lot while we are living away from home. It's just hard sometimes.
We're taking a trip out in June when my little bro Cameron returns from his mission. I am super excited about this trip! It's the only thing that is getting me through this long stretch away from my family. I'm trying to figure out the maximum days that I can take off work to go. I guess for at least a week, I won't be missing out on so much.
I promise it gets easier with time! I've been living 12+ hours away from home for 5.5 years and it's a lot easier than it used to be. Not that that helps you right now, but it'll stop sucking as much in a while. It's kind of fun actually because I'm finally starting to feel like a real adult, which is nice : )
ReplyDeleteIt'll get better, I promise!
Ash, it's only a couple of words. He's not really "talking" per se. We love you and miss you, too. We need to Skype more. How bout Saturday night?
ReplyDeleteBabies change really quickly, but Tae and Canon will be the same. Oh, I wish I could cheer you up.
I am homesick for you also Ash! I have not heard Keller talk so don't feel so bad. You will be home soon.
