going home
Since Eric Bryant currently stole my last funny blog (see link to Eric on side) I shall continue to do what I do best....ramble about my life.
I am three days away from flying home for Christmas and I feel like a little kid I'm so excited. Even though Miami weather is awesome and I have some good friends here, it's not home to me. There are certain people who like to have a home base and I am one of them. I remember the first week that I spent far away from home (and not at grandma's) was at church camp. Rock River Christian Camp became one of my favorite places, but I was not too happy that first time. I got so homesick the first night that I threw up all over my cabin. I don't throw up anymore, but the general homesick feeling still comes back every once and a while. I just like the feeling of home- somewhere that you know and that knows you. "Where everybody knows your name...." It brings me a certain amount of joy and peace, and a large amount of comfort, to know that I am "home." I can't wait!

Don't think that I can't steal this one too. I might just start stealing all of your blogs, regardless of content.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!!!!!

Of course Miami isn't your home. Cincinnati is!
By the way, what was your name?
Just kidding.
We miss you a ton!
