Home Sick

Wayne is going to KC next week on business & I am trying to figure out a way to tag along. I am missing my dear friends & wanted to do some shopping (Curious Sofa, Nells Hill, Lauren Alexandra, & Standard). But, after taking into account: 1) What to do with Caeden 2) Do I want to spend the money on a plane ticket? ... I slowly slid out of the idea of going.

This afternoon, I got ambitious and proceeded to download some digital frames to play with in photoshop (thank you, Michelle, for the tutorial yesterday!). As I was checking out, I noticed my old information was still populated in the billing address field.


And BAM! I was homesick all over again. For my old house (which I was totally sick of at the time), for my old address (because I liked the "ring" of it), for my old friends (of course!), for all of it. It has been two years since we moved and I still get a lump in my throat when I think of the house we brought Caeden home to. When I think of the trees we planted in the back yard that grew big enough to support a swing. When I think of my neighbors & my best girlfriends that I could call for a run, a coffee, a workout, a scrapbook night. It's all gone.


What a depressing post. Sorry about that. I just needed to get it out.

Onto something wonderful today: I met an old girlfriend (from Gillette) that now lives down here for breakfast this morning. Her two beautiful children and Caeden had a blast together while we exchanged snipits of our lives over pancakes. It was wonderful and I am so happy we've reconnected. She's a wonderful spirit & so funny.

Anyway, the weather is gorgeous & will be all week. Caeden is playing outside and I am *waiting* for Claire to fall asleep. I have carnida meat in the crockpot -- so good on warm tortiallas with a squeeze of lime and some salsa, cheese, and homemade guac.

Have a great weekend.

XOXO
