Homesick...

I was a little homesick today... It has been 2 months and 8 days since we moved to West Virginia. That means it's been 2 months and 8 days since I have seen my family. 2 months and 8 days since I've seen my mama, my daddy, my sisters, my brothers, and my babies. I love this state - I love this town - I love our church - I love my new friends - but all of these things don't quite take away from the fact that I miss my family. It's such a crazy thing moving away from home. I thought about this today as I sat in my office - I have lots of time to think while I'm at work. I need to find more productive things to do!! Anyways, I used to know every detail of their lives: what they were doing, where they were, what they were doing tomorrow... and I don't know any of that anymore. I have no idea what Marcus is doing today. Is he swimming? Working? Playing with that sweet baby? What about my little Poo Poo? And daddy! Is he riding his motorcycle? Down at the shop? Playing his XBox?! You see, I don't know the answers to any of these questions!! I realize these things are not very significant, but it's weird when you've gone 23 years knowing their answers!

Marcus gives me a hard time being away from that cutie pie of his! I won't be there when Caleb starts walking - and I won't hear his first words! I wont get to play with him in the pool, or watch him while his mommy and daddy go out on a date!

As much as I miss them and long to see them - I have no doubt in my mind that this move was right! I believe it's the first step of the journey God has prepared us! I have no idea what that journey is - or what our future holds, but I do know that I am trusting God to show us!

So, to my family: though I am away and I don't talk about it often, I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER EVEN BEGIN TO KNOW!!
