Well I'm in Waterford at this exact moment, in my mom's new addition of her house AKA my apartment. So far it has been a wonderful visit. We've seen our family, although I didn't quite make it to Yale with Phil. Phil and I were in Waterford first and saw my family and then went to Lansing to see his mom. Then he dropped me off yesterday and I am staying in Waterford until I leave the 30th. He is staying in Lansing until the 29th to see his brothers and mom and stuff. So it's nice that I get to have some quality alone time with my family and friends. Not that I don't love having him around my friends and stuff but I'm going dress shopping with Amanda and Courtney and I couldn't do that if Phil was with me.
Another GREAT thing was that I got to see my old computer from college and see some of the songs I used to listen to. It was a definite trip down memory lane! So fun. I even called holly and put one of the songs on her voicemail.
I am getting worried about the pets and I feel bad that they are alone for so long. Also, being home makes me miss it. When I'm so far away in Texas and so busy, it makes me forget how good it feels to have everybody close by and someone to see at all times. I guess that sometimes life doesn't always deal you the cards that you want to be dealt and we have to make due with what we are given. Right now I've been given that I have to stay away until Phil can get a job back here. It will be really hard to go back now. I can honestly say that I was never homesick the whole time I was in Texas but I think it will be really hard to go back now. It makes it very real that I'm far away now. I also think of people who don't have any family and friends and it makes me think, "Why should I live my life away from mine when I love them so much?" Anyway...that's my thoughts on my vacation home. Hopefully by the end of the day my bridesmaids will have a dress and so will I! YAYY
