Spring Break is quickly approaching and I cannot wait to be home. This semester has been great but I still get homesick every once in a while. Someone asked me the other day what I miss most when I am gone so here is my answer:
The TEN things I miss the most…
1) Hearing my little brothers giggle. They have the greatest laughs ever and I am instantly filled with joy.
2) Spending Monday nights with my sister. We always watch Pretty Little Liars together but now we watch it over Skype together.
3) Car rides to school with Liam and Payton. Even if they were annoyed by my unusual perkiness and my “lame” music I enjoyed the 15 minute trip to school.
4) Sunday mornings. Every Sunday morning before we leave for church my dad makes all of us breakfast. It is such a great time with family.
5) Surprisingly, being picked on by my baby brother Liam. Although he stills finds a way to pick on me via phone, facebook, and skype it just isn’t the same.
6) Cooking! I didn’t cook very often but now that I don’t have the opportunity to I miss it like crazy! I cannot wait to cook and bake over summer break with my sister.
7) Babysitting. I used to spend every weekend with one of the families that I sit for. I miss those kids so much. Over the years they became family and I cannot wait to spend some fun summer days with them.
8) Baristas, especially with my friend Tina. There will never be another coffee shop that I love as much as Baristas. I can’t go home without making at least one stop for a Chai Tea.
9) My dad. Last year over lunch if I had time I would go eat with my dad or just visit him at the shop. I don’t get the chance to spend much time with him so I enjoyed those 30 minutes without all the other kids around.
10) Talks with my mom. I talk her everyday sometimes more than once but it just isn’t the same over the phone. She helps me with absolutely everything and is always there for me. It is great to hear her voice on the phone or see her through skype, but sometimes I wish I could just sit there with her. I always look forward to the time I have with her.
Less than 2 days until I am home doing all of these things that I miss. I cannot wait to see my lovely family!
