Family

Wish mine lived closer. Pretty much sums up how I'm feeling today. Sarah was here Sunday until this morning and it was so nice having her here. Just hanging out, not doing anything special. I'm always homesick, but it's worse after my family comes to visit. I almost dread them leaving before they even get here. Crazy  I know

I totally get it. We're finally just half a country away from our families, but in the past, we've spent years on the other side of the world. It's no picnic!!!

what made you move away from your family? Just curious :)

I agree. People should not take their family for granted. Now that we are 7 miles away from my parents versus 3,000+ I've come to appreciate my family so much more. They do a lot for us and vice versa!

I initially moved away after college to live in the same city as my at-the-time boyfriend. Then moved home for a couple months before moving to DC to start fresh. Stayed there two years then moved down to Atlanta with my at-the-time fiance (was previous boyfriend and current ex-husband :)). I always said I knew I wasn't going to stay in MN, but that's because I met my ex when I was still so young- I really don't remember having any plans before that. As much as I miss my family, I really don't consider moving back to MN. Plus, one sister is in Cleveland, the other in Green Bay, so we are kind of all over the place (with the parents somewhere else too).
