Preemptive Homesickness

I had a mini breakdown yesterday on the drive home from Mom and Dad's house.  I realized that I have very few times (and maybe just two times) that I will be at Mom and Dad's before we move to Richmond.  And then who knows when I'll be able to come home?!  
It was exacerbated by the fact that Jack is going to Macon for the summer and may not be able to come home when I am home with Beth in a couple of weeks.  So when will I see him next?!

So I came home and cried to Joey who gave me a little pep talk.  He reminded me that we will start work soon after we get up there and then it will be work just like it is here.  And then the baby will come and we will have visitors.....I repeat:  WE WILL HAVE VISITORS!!!!

Then my sweet sister must have felt my hour of need all the way from Texas because she called soon after.  And, of course, she understands this feeling!  She had some good, reassuring things to tell me and I do feel better.

I just love being this close to family and friends!  I am going to miss everyone so much!

Unfortunately, I had the same thought. I was helping Jackson pack for Macon and thought the same things you did...=(

I miss you ALREADY! I might not see you much (at all these days thanks to crazy work...) but it makes me happy to know that we both live in Bham. We will miss you! BUT...my little brother actually just moved to Richmond for the summer & we have already had a chat & he is going to take good care of you guys up there!
