Then my thoughts move on to my home in Ohio.... I miss late-night talks at Joel and Deena's house with mom calling me 3 or 4 times to see if I'm coming home yet ;) (love ya mom!) I miss mom and I's spur-of-the-moment mall trips just so we could get a cup of Gloria Jean's coffee, an Auntie Anne's pretzel and steal some good deals from Christopher and Bank's! I miss my B.F.F. Maggie ( remember that Mag?) and all our weird, but extremely fun times together. And I never thought I'd say this but I even miss the state of Ohio. And that is a HUGE accomplishment....(After 19 years of living in the same house, and everything being the same, I kind of wanted to get out and see new horizons) but as they say, "There's no place like home." Dad, I even miss you saying, "Whatever!" I'm learning the older I get to never take such a great family, like mine, for granted.
Don't get me wrong, I love where I'm at now and I'm enjoying getting to know my in-laws better. Life changes but the changes are good for us and are exactly what God has designed for us......I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, a great church, a great family (on both sides), great friends and last but not least, a great God!
I'm sorry if I've just depressed all of you that are reading this but it's nice to be able to write my feelings down and get them out. I don't know- maybe I shouldn't write sentimental blogs at night when I'm tired and my emotions are very vulnerable, but a life can't always be perfect- there will be sad times, and glad times. If we can remember what is what like to go through the sad times, then when we get to the glad times, we don't take them for granted..........
FINALLY- off to bed..............
