Homesick

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.
