Homesick

I am VERY homesick.  I know this for a few reasons (please don't judge me on any of these):

1.  If you tell me your from Michigan, I will probably tackle you and give you a HUGE hug.

2.  I have been wearing my Michigan necklace practically everyday...and when I go to bed I place it so I can drift off to sleep looking at it.

3.  If I think of home for too long, I start crying.

4.  The other day I was looking for an alternate route to get to my job on my atlas, and before I knew it, I was staring at the map of Michigan.  It was so familiar and sometimes North Carolina seems so UNfamiliar.

5.  I have been listening to Amy Grant in the car because it reminds me of the music my parents like.

This is the album...straight from the 80's with love from my parents for one of my birthday's.

6.  Every time I use my Pyrex bowls I reminisce about how my grandmother's bowls permanently smell like butter.

7.  I am WAY more interested in the U of M football scores.  Go Blue!

8.  When I was trying to get back to where I am living currently, I clicked GO HOME on my GPS and it gave me directions back to Grand Haven...I almost followed them.

That is all I can think of right now.  It is kind of a pitiful list.  Hopefully this phase passes soon.  Until then...I need hugs people!  Lots and lots of hugs...and prayer.  That would be nice :)
