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!
Aw! Sorry you are missing Nebraska! I hope the second half of your time in California flies by.
ReplyDeleteI hate to read you are missing "The Good Life" state! Mommy hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks, momma! I'm feeling much better today.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too haha.
ReplyDeleteI hope the next few months fly by for you and you can get back to Nebraska soon! It's hard being far away from family. I really like living in Nebraska, but I wish my family wasn't 10+ hours away from me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Me too. 10+ hours away must be hard! All my family is in KC, so I got to see them all the time when I was in Omaha.
