It's silly that I'm saying this already, but I am seriously counting down the days till I move back home. Only 219! *Sigh* That feels forever away. (mom and dad probably feel differently, but I am so ready to move back home already and honestly cannot wait) I miss my mom and dad more than anything. Sunday dinner today was just the three of us and I miss those days. I took for granted having my mom and dad so close when I needed them so badly. I cherish every moment I get to spend with them now, as those days are not so often. I am lucky to live so close to them that I can go see them whenever I want. I couldn't wait to move out and start this college adventure and see what life was like on my own, but I don't like it. I don't like the change. I want to have my mom watching my every move, making sure I do my homework when I need to, and I want to be there to cook for dad on Monday nights (and of course have someone to watch the bachelor with :)! I want to watch movies with mom and dad (or watch one while they sleep on the couch) and play games with them and go for walks. I miss sitting by mom at church every week- church just isn't the same anymore. Moving out made me realize I had life so good. It made me realize that mom and dad really care about me and love me more than anything. It made me realize how much I love them too! Whenever I have a rough day and am missing the parents, I listen to that song mom has on her blog and look at any pictures of them I can find. I just want to be with them! Basically I just want to be back at home. I miss those days :( I can't wait for these next 219 days to be over. I find myself not being able to sleep at night, because I just wish I was home. If gas wasn't so dang expensive I would come home more often than they would be able to handle. Today is just one of those days that I miss my mom and dad a whole lot :(

Sometimes it takes moving out to realize - that life is good just the way it was...(they miss you a lot too!) We love you - make the best of your adventure!! It makes me ways sad that mom has to sit by herself at church - I totally didn't even realize.
Hey Kal, It's always good to be grateful for what you had! That's part of the joy of moving out it appreciating home more! BUT... don't forget that sometimes the grass always looks greener on the other side. You really need to make the best of this opportunity! You can take it and run with it and have the most memorable year of your life or you can wish it away. I promise you'll look back one day on this time with fondness. You'll see it as a time of great growth. If you turn to Heavenly Father HE WILL HELP YOU!!! He will help you meet people that YOU are supposed to help and touch. I guarantee that you moved out for a reason. Too many miracles happened for it to be otherwise. Remember what Pres. Hinckley's dad told him... FORGET yourself and GO TO WORK!!! :) I promise you won't regret it!!!
