Home Sweet Homes

As much as I love visiting my family, I am super excited to finally return back to my school and friends. I want to say that I am going "home", but, with all of the moves that I go through, I can never really place where that is. Is it possible to have multiple homes?

For the past two years (aka since I've started college), I haven't stayed in one place for longer than two months. At camp last summer, I moved cabins once or twice a week, and then after camp, it's school to my hometown and back again over and over. And I love it, I really do. It's taught me a lot of things like proper packing skills, long distance communication, living in the moment, and to rid myself of things that I don't need (I have a little trouble sticking with that last one). The idea of home has been screwed up for these past two years, since I can never pick one solid location.

However, the cliche still remains true I guess, home is where your family is. Here are a few of my families.

Hometown Bound

This week is Spring Break for my college, which means that I can visit my family for the week. I am super excited, since I have been homesick (which is weird, since I am rarely homesick) for my family for most of February.

I am am only child today, because both of my sisters are gone.

Fortunately, Courtney comes back from her track and field trip tomorrow, and then my mom, Courtney, and I are off to see my older sister at college. I could not be more excited.

I also get to hang out with my Oma today, which is awesome since I haven't seen her (or anyone in my family for that matter) in over two months. Crazy.


If you have a spring break, I hope that you are enjoying it, wherever you are!
