Today is
Saturday!! That makes me so very happy. I’m having a fantastic day already! I
got to sleep in, read my scriptures, edit a friends essays, watch Gilmore
Girls, and even study for a midterm coming up on Monday. Tonight I get to scare people at a Haunted Forest! It’s Fall and the
leaves are starting to change. Fall break is coming up in less than a week and
I am MORE than ready to go home and spend some time with my family. I live
about four hours away from school so going home is a rare occasion for me. I
haven’t seen them since August and before that it was May!
I like to think
that my parents and I have a good relationship and that we are close. Growing
up we fought often, mostly my fault, I was a teenager after all. After I moved
to Indiana and started college, I missed my parents. I called my mom often and
texted my dad. My mom is more talkative and my dad is more of the kind of guy
to talk when there is a reason. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t want to talk,
he just usually likes to have a reason, more of the get down to business type.
Anyways, after moving to college our relationships grew closer. We still argue
once in a while, but it’s more of a rare occasion. I’ve had time to mature and
realize how much they love me. This being said, I am beyond excited to go home
and have some time with them. After Fall Break I’ll be home in November again
for Thanksgiving, then a couple weeks later for Winter Break. I’ll have the
privilege to spend almost 3 weeks with my family before moving to Idaho for
school. I’ll be gone for 4 months before seeing them for a month in April.
I’m not home
often. It’s not because I don’t WANT to be home, but rather because I have so
many things I want to do in my life and staying home doesn’t always mean they
will get done. This doesn’t mean I love my family any less than someone who
goes home every weekend. I love my family so much. I would do anything for them
and they would do the same for me. That’s why I know that even though I’ll be
moving across the country that home will always be there. My family will always
be there. They will always love and I will always love them.
