A Little Home

"Sometimes you just need a little home."

This song just came on my iTunes, and got me thinking about how good it was to go home last weekend. I love living the college life, but getting homesick is not a foreign feeling.

There is something about pulling into my driveway after the drive from school, my little sister [Janelle] riding her bike around, my dad sitting on the patio, my dog running to greet me as I open my car door.

It's a good feeling.

It's home.

This trip home was a busy one! I was home for a night to pick up Janelle and head to Ohio for our cousins wedding the next morning.

Ohio, here we come!

It was a great trip to say at the least! Not only did I get to see my cousins, aunt, uncle, and grandma, I got to see my brother [Justin] and his girlfriend [Lyndsay] who currently live in Boston! My family tends to spread out across the country so when we can all get together, it's a pretty big deal. It was so nice just spending time and catching up with my family.

Such a sweet couple. Congrats, Melissa and Paul!

The wedding was beautiful and it was such a blessing to share that special day with them.

The weekend went by too fast, but it was so good seeing everyone. We are all so busy and missing them comes easy. I am so thankful for events like this that gives us all an excuse to get together!
