30 Days of Thanks - Home

Today I'm thankful that I'll be home in St. Louis in just one month! I'm feeling really low/homesick today, I think in part due to usual ups and downs of the month, but also because I miss my family. I love John's family and enjoy spending Thanksgiving with them, but I still get homesick around this time every year because it just isn't the same as spending the holiday at home. I'm baking pies and packing a bag for tomorrow night (we stay at John's parents so we wake up there in the morning and can help prep) but I wish there were brothers, aunts, or my mom here bustling around doing the same. I wish there was punch. I wish there was Rocky. Really any kind of living creature would do - it's lonely here prepping for the holidays by myself. Tomorrow night/Thurs will be better but yeah, depressed today. So I am instead thinking about being home for Christmas and all the fun we're going to have. One Month!
