missing christmas.

i had a rough start into the new year.

i am sick today & i miss christmas & home more than ever.

this year we got to spend christmas at home instead of going to chicago like we usually do.

even though i missed going to chicago, there is something about being home that is so wonderful.

i always end up learning so much about myself there- good things, bad things, parts of me that have grown.

probably because i don't have the usual distractions that i have here such as school, house projects, etc.

why do i always take being home for granted??

still can't get over our hugeee christmas tree.
