The longest my parents and I have gone without seeing each other. Crazy! My college life with school, work, and socializing has kept me busy. I'm going home this afternoon and it'll be the first time I've been home this semester. It'll also be the first time I've seen my parents since winter break ended. I've seen only Erin this semester and that was three weeks ago. I'm used to seeing my family more because in the fall they come to all of WSU's home football games, which are every couple weekends. So it's been a long time since I've spent time with my family!
Yes, I have missed my mom and dad, but I've been alright. I've been strong and have only started to long to see them in the last 10 days. Because I can't believe that it has been six weeks since I saw them, I am taking it as a sign that I am growing up and very comfortable with my life in Pullman. This is a good and bad thing I suppose. Don't get me wrong, though, I love my parents and don't know what I would do without them. I just can't believe it's been six weeks! It sure doesn't feel like it! I just counted the weeks this morning and was surprised at how much time had passed.
I'll head home for the three day weekend in a few hours. It's going to be so nice to see mom, dad, and Erin. I'm also looking forward to seeing our pets, especially, Daisy and Buzz. It's going to be a great weekend filled with good memories! We are planning to eat out, do some shopping, and attend a hockey game. It's going to be great and I am going to enjoy every second of it!
