What is wrong with me?

I swear there is something wrong with me. Everyone else is just fine... what's my problem? I am SUPER HOME SICK. I feel like I'm 12. If anything it makes me feel very blessed to have such amazing family and friends.... but I MISS them! Cooper is really into saying prayers and I want to cry every time he prays for his buddy's Hunter and Ethan because he always follows it with "because I really miss them" me too buddy me too. I want to be able to drive to my moms, sisters, mother-in-laws just to say hi, I want crazy summer nights filled with softball games, play dates with friends, stroller boot camp, Sonic drink runs, I could go on and on! I'm sure living in this small town is not helping me and my busy body self but I keep thinking I will adjust, and I'm sure I will... just not today. Justin is so good at his job, he really loves it and the experience he is getting is irreplaceable. I just want it to be closer to home, Pocatello, Rexburg, Twin, Logan I don't care just a LITTLE closer. Ahhhh.. ok I feel better now that I got that off my chest :0/. On that note, I love love these two little boys they keep me on my toes in this small little house! Cade LOVES the tub, he throws EVERYTHING in it (including himself) he recently figured out how to turn on the water... that's always fun when he is FULLY dressed!
This is Cade's excited face he says "ohhhhh!"

This was my latest vinyl project. My brother J.D. gave me these cabinet doors from his shop that some lady didn't want... I'll take em! Thanks J.D. :0)


Cade, once again into mischief!


Coopers new trick.... I was not very excited but they were entertained. Unfortunately the windowsill is my boys favorite place to play?????

I know the feeling of home sickness, sadly I'm not even away from home. I'm glad that you have those 2 adorable boys to keep you busy! Love the vinyl sign. I may have to get you on some projects for me :)

Oh Chy, I totally feel you! I always get sad when I HEAR my friends that just go to their parents in the day when they are bored. LUCKY! But hopefully we are blessed in other ways since we don't have our family near? I wish you still lived near. I miss you every time we go to church or any ward activity. I can't believe how grown up Cade looks. I hardly recognized him with his new haircut.

Chy said...

yeah about the hair cut... it's a little shorter than we wanted it:0( The first thing Justin said when he saw him was "My baby has cancer!" Dirt bag it was an accident :0/ at least Justin made me laugh, because I wanted to cry, all his cute curly blond hair is gone!

I am right there with you with the homesick thing. I would have never imagined I would live so far away from home. Our amazing husbands make up for it though. :) It is tough sometimes. For me it is especially hard during the holidays on the years that I don't get to go home. :( I love that cabinet door idea!! You are so amazingly crafty!!

Amy said...

I know how you feel but living in a small town could make it much worse. So you need to come visit me and we can do lots of fun things. Hope you feel better.

Rebecca said...

I feel your pain. I don't know why I'm homesick because I was there over thanksgiving... I think because it was such a fun trip! I don't live in a small town Chy, but it feels that way sometimes. No parking, no going out late at night... definitely no sonic.

So sorry you are so homesick. That is rough. It does get easier. I still miss hangin' w/my sis's and mom, but then you get good friends to lean on and it makes all the difference in the world. Love ya, Chy. I'm making you my official surrogate sis; okay? Hang in there!

Bladers said...

Hey Chy, I know exactly what you mean about being homesick. I've been here for 3 1/2 years and it's still a struggle. Jace and I were talking the other night about how we wish you guys were here so we could hang out. I hope things get easier there. Love, Tara

ah, chy, this blog got me teary eyed!! i have definitely been more of the "on my own" type of gal and do pretty good being away...it has been that way for almost 10 years...but lately, I too am home sick. i wish I could hang out late nights with my sisters, have my nieces and nephews over on the weekends just for fun, go to their games and dance recitals, and have reliable babysitters there just when I need them. that is the hardest for me! i hope you are feeling better. when do you go home next? we are not going unil july!
