down with the sickness.

lately i've been really homesick, which isn't me at all! in the past year i have only been home for about 3 visits, totaling 3 months all together. sure i miss the family and friends i have there but it has never made me feel "homesick" until now.
i miss my friends, some days i just want to call them up and go to Grey's Lake to lay at the small beach or go to the mall to shop and have some auntie anne's or coldstone.
i miss my family, i want to sit at the dinner table with my parents and siblings and laugh at brother making fun of my dad, or busting up becuase he was "ripping one" right while in the middle of grace or conversation, and asking my little sister about swim practice and what not.

i think this homesick feeling has been brought upon me due to the fact i can't work here. or go to school. and none of my friends are here.

what's been keeping me going is the fact i am in love with and going to marry, the most wonderful man there is, and that's no lie or exaggeration. he has been here for me and loves me for me. even if i dont brush my teeth or comb my hair! haha. planning our wedding has been good, it's exciting and i can't wait for the day to come when we are one. and guess what... finally my full name will fit on the dotted line!

and something else i'm pretty excited for is to come home and see my family after 6 months, and my cousin, and friends... and knowing i'll be in iowa for awhile this time is a pretty good feeling as well :D

with love.
