Well today was a hard one. I am missing so much back home and it's all starting to hit me like a ton of bricks. My baby sister is pregnant with her first child and I can't be there. Our skype has been down for a couple weeks and I am feeling really disconnected. Today my family back home went to the Christmas parade that I love going to every year. It was harder than Thanksgiving because there was nothing going on over here to distract me. I had a big fight with my husband and it has been a very exhausting day. I think my son is trying to say anything that will hurt me today. Do you ever just want to escape everything?

Big thanks to Stan for the flowers. You are my life!

Sorry for the lack of words today. I just don't have it in me right now but I wanted to write a bit.
