Well, my first visit back to Nashville has come and gone. The night before I left, I was so wired I couldn't sleep! Seriously, no sleep! I have had small doses of homesickness, but nothing major. However, as the week went on, I was READY to head south!
My time home was really a big blur. I tried to fit in as much as possible, and I still didn't get to see everyone or do all that I wanted to. I did manage to get in a morning with Carrie, an afternoon with Anne, lunch with Derek, a girls night with Laura, and even a porch night/bonfire with Jessica, Casey, and Amy. The one thing Chicago doesn't have is my wonderful friends. I was telling someone that the nicest thing about being home was just being able to be. I didn't have to have conversations about where I'm from and who I am. I didn't have to pretend. I could just be....silly, dorky me!
The other thing that was amazing was that as much as I hated to leave my friends and family, I never had second thoughts about coming back. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'm right where God wants me to be! I am happy and excited about my life, and I really can't wait to see what happens. I feel like as difficult as it has been at times, those times have just made me stronger.
If I didn't get to see you while I was home, I missed you! I'm going to be home for most of the month of December, and I can't wait! I'm hoping there will be many more opportunities to see my dear friends. I do miss all of you guys...lots!
