I am HOMESICK!! I just want to go home and see my mommy!!! Even though part of me feels like I'm too old to feel that way, I know that it's actually a good thing that I love my family that much that even at the ripe old age of 27 I get homesick like a kid at camp. It's so funny because even though it's not "winter" like I'm used to it in the midwest (heck, it was in the 60's and sunny today) I still feel like I have the winter blues... I just want my mommy!!!!
Probably has something to do with all the changes going on back home. All of which are good- in fact GREAT changes. I think it's just that being away when they happen makes me homesick because I want to be with my family to celebrate and experience all of this stuff.
I can't WAIT to be an aunt and we found out this weekend that Abby and Kyle are having a BOY! We are REALLY looking foward to meeting our nephew and are so happy for Abby and Kyle! They are going to be awesome parents.
We also found out that Graham (Justin's brother) got a job with Whole Foods in Boulder, CO. Such an awesome company and an awesome place to live. I'm really impressed that he's been flown out by them twice for interviews- they know talent when they see it! I can't imagine being flown across the country for an interview!
And of course when we go home in July it will be to a different "home" in Davenport. Not even technically Davenport- Bettendorf now. I can't wait to see the new house!
And my "little" brother is breaking into the food industry and got a new job and is going to culinary school.
And my mom got a new car- an SUV! I'm sad that I haven't gotten to go for a spin yet!! I can't wait!
And now my brother and dad and I are all addicted to the CrackBerry- I love being able to text with my dad more!!
I guess this is a totally unexciting and rambling post. Funny too, because of the very few people who read this, more than half already know most of what I've written. I guess it's just a long-winded way of saying I miss and love my family very much. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family that is so worth missing.

I miss you too honey - I was saying to Aaron yesterday that it seems like frequently when we call you we are all together and I wonder if that makes you homesick. His response was that when the 4 of us are together - we always notice the hole that you and Justin should be filling and that is why we think to call. I hope its nice to missed. Love you - can't wait to come!
mom
we miss you guys too! Can't wait to see you, and we're super jealous mom and dad get to see you first!
I loved getting the update on everyone!! I completely know that feeling of being homesick! I feel it often too. Especially with all my nephews and my niece. It makes me sad that they are growing so much and I'm missing out on it. :( But God has a purpose for it all! I have to remind myself of that!
I miss you too Rachael! :) I'm going to have to get running this spring so that when we come see you this summer I can keep up with you!
