Today, I must admit, I am EXTREMELY homesick. While the Grenadians are enjoying the day off to celebrate their independence I'm stuck at home with a sick kid. Even though this Holiday has nothing to do with anything back at home I feel like I should be doing something fun with my family. Instead I'm here balling my eyes out. I'm crying because I want to be making homemade pizza and applesauce with my sisters. I'm crying because I don't feel like being a housewife today-doing laundry and dishes. I'm crying because I want Emma to be running around with her cousins instead of tearing the house apart. I'm crying because I want Jerod to stop studying and make me feel better. I'm crying because I want to have game night where I can stay up late and laugh hysterically at all of our crazy comments. I'm crying because I want to put on my sweats and take a nap under 5 layers of blankets in my parents freezing cold basement. Finally, I am crying because my landlords upstairs are having a very noisy party.
Okay so enough crying already! I'm slightly embarrassed to be bearing my soul to who knows who on my blog. I'm sure my friends here are laughing by now and thinking, "she'll get over it, I did!" But I share nothing but the truth and todays truths aren't so pleasant. Some days are just harder than others and today happens to be one of them. Reality is that this happens to be our home now and we do enjoy it most of the time! We did have a great weekend and actually got to spend some time on the beach with friends. Ahh, I feel better now to get it all out. Thank you for listening, well actually reading, whoever you are.

U R the strength Jerod can lean on and the one that Emma needs the MOST:)Just think of how things will be when this is all said and done.

Oh Stefie! We miss you too! I think about you all the time... especially when I'm with Sam trying to find something to do while Matt's busy in school or studying. I tell Sam, "What do you think Stef and Emma are doing today?" I wish we could just drop by and go to the beach together :) Love you!
