i’m home.
tonight i’m at home. i got to see my cousin and her two little girls for the first time since thanksgiving. it was fantastic. i got to see my little brother—well, he’s not so little anymore. i got to see my momma and daddy. and tomorrow i get to see my aunt jamie and my nanny and pawpaw. i have missed them SOOO much! as i was driving to alabama today, listening to some good ole country music, i told christina how much country music made me think of home. it’s like every song floods my mind with memories. i think we were in mississippi when i realized just how much i missed my family—it’s been a while since i’ve been home. i just wanted to give my parents a big hug right then; i couldn’t get home fast enough.
when i’m at freed i get so busy that i forget about the rest of the world. and i guess sometimes i forget about my family. but i’ve missed them. i’ve missed alabama. i’ve missed my dog. i’ve missed my pillow top mattress that i’m about to sleep on. i’ve missed the radio station. i’ve missed my friends. i’ve missed the two piggly wiggly’s and two dollar generals. i’ve missed this little town full of familiar faces that i couldn’t wait to get out of. i’ve missed being home.
so tonight, i’m completely satisfied with life. i go to a great school. i have amazing friends. i have a wonderful boyfriend. i’m at home with my fantastic family. and i have an awesome GOD who has blessed me with far more than i deserve. i’m a very blessed and happy little girl.
