Homesick

So, tonight i'm a little blog happy...well picture happy anyway! I was just sitting here being very saddened by life. I think its so comical how sometimes we wish for things...and then we actually get it. Looking back on my wishes...were they all everything they were thought to be? I definitely think we did the right thing moving...am I happy in this moment, not so much. But, I do feel peace, that for some crazy reason we are where living on the map in the right general area. Lately though, my heart has been LONGING, yes I do mean longing, for the relationships that we had in Illinois. I think Alex has been feeling the same way on some level. We have such precious friends and I miss them more than life itself. Honestly, my heart aches to wrap my arms around some of the precious people that we love there. I can honestly say, even with 12 hours separating us, our friendships will never grow distant. They mean that much to me...working at it no matter how hard it gets. These awesome families have buried themselves deep within my heart. I love you all...please know that!!! I'm done crying now...its midnight and I'm going to try to get in bed while my cold stricken son is sleeping! On a final note...Just take a look at this love!
