Apologies for the late post and boring outfit today, guys, but today is the day I took my baby sister back to the airport. Having her here was like having a little slice of home, and it made me both incredibly happy and incredibly homesick. Now that she's gone, all that's left is homesick.
I am immensely grateful that I got to spend her birthday with her, and that she was able to come for a week and a half, and that we had so much fun together, but her absence now has thrown into even sharper contrast how badly I want to go back to Nebraska. Sure, I grew up in Kansas, and most of my family still lives there. But for four years I lived in Nebraska and it wormed its way into my heart and just fit so snug-ly in the part of it that is designated for "home." Not a day goes by that we don't wish we were back there already.
Fortunately, we're a little over halfway through our time out here, so for now I will continue to take advantage of the pros of being here. Even on the days where I lose sight of them, like today.
Sorry for being a debby downer, I hope you all are having a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!
