Today I Woke Up and My Heart Ached

For a place to call home.

(no, I did not do that screaming crazy thing that Belle does in New Moon-- a little dramatic I think). But I do feel like there is a bit of a void in my heart that is not yet filled from moving from a place we loved.

Somehow, we're not here yet. And Eric working tons doesn't help.

I'm trying to make friends. I make phone calls, send emails, extend invitations. . .

When we moved out here I told myself it takes at least 6 months to make it feel like home.

But it's a long six months.

I'm glad we're flying "home" to Utah for Christmas. That will do my heart some good so I don't

have to spend another holiday alone.

I need to remember this feeling so I can help others as well as cultivate the "longing for home" in the eternal sense.
