The last few weeks, I haven't been feeling quite my normal, chipper self. It took me a few days to realize what was wrong... I was at work, feeling kind of blah and thought to myself, "I feel like going to Arundel Mills and having lunch at the Golden Corral." A fairly normal thought, except I was longing to go to a mall in Maryland. And then I realized I'm homesick... for Maryland.

I was so surprised. We lived in Maryland for three years but, always knew we would leave so, I guess I was a bit taken aback to realize how much I missed living there. But, after I thought about it, boy do I. Of course, I miss our friends the most. It takes such a long time to feel established in a new place and we were JUST getting there before we moved. We made some wonderful friends and we've been missing them. We keep in touch but, of course it's not the same. And, I miss the familiarity and being comfortable with people. Tennessee is wonderful but, it is a HUGE adjustment learning how to live in the Bible Belt. Don't tell anyone but, we're not religious!
