Fly Away Home.

I'm coming home!

I've waited seven months to finally live back in Missouri! And I'll be living with one of the greatest people on earth! My Grandma! I am so excited! I want to see my siblings again and my parents. One of my favorite parts about going home is when I first walk through the door and everyone yells out my name and we stand there forever passing along hugs and warm welcomes, or when I drive up and honk the horn as long and loud as I can and watch my little siblings run out in their bare feet just to see me!

I miss the humidity. I miss hearing those annoying bugs just before going to bed. I miss the cold night air. I miss the trees. I miss my friends and my ward. I miss jumping on the trampoline. I miss picking on my siblings. I miss walking across the bridge and leaning over just to watch the water. I miss home cooked meals. I miss telling my parents goodnight. I even miss my car!

I can't wait to spend five whole months with my Grandma! One of the first things she told me was that she was going to retire from cooking ever again! There's so much I want to learn from her. It'll be like living with a personal trainer and teacher, which I guess is pretty much the roll for a parent anyway. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I can't wait to be home!

That is going to be so cool. I cant wait till we can move back to MO. Or at least closer to everyone. But I think we'll be stuck with TX for about 10years. It's not to bad here though.

Living with grandma will be a BLAST. She knows EVERYTHING. I wish I could have spent more time with her so we could do more food storage stuff. Consider yourself VERY lucky!

Lucky. I don't like Utah, and we're going to be here probably until my hubby graduates. Oh well. Right now, I'm looking forward to the cold winters. It's so hot right now.
