P.S. I Miss You

Okay where in the world have I been?! I haven't been anywhere except the farm technically, but I have not visited the blog in over two weeks! Basically, a whole lot of nothing and whole lot of everything has been going on. Most importantly, my parents and Memaw got to visit me this past Thursday through Sunday! I haven't been homesick or missing my family to extremes, but when they pulled into the driveway of the farm then I was overwhelmed with happiness! I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear when I saw my Tennessee tags and three familiar faces with matching expressions of joy. My family is such a solid part of my life that I can't imagine not being able to share experiences like these with them. I was happy they were able to actually experience in person my detailed conversations that I share over the phone instead of just attempting to visualize. The weather was perfect while they were here, we shopped, tried many a restaurants, drove around, went to a nursery, talked for hours, and shopped some more. (Can you tell I have missed shopping?)
Speaking of things that I miss...
My puppy dogs!
Sushi.
My own bedroom.
Living with people who actually clean up after themselves.
Air conditioning.
Polishing my nails.
Time with friends and family.
Going to the lake and pool.
Being in close proximity to town.
Dishwashers.
Reliable ovens and washing machines.
Proper sweet tea.
Genuine hospitality.
People who know what "Go Vols" and "Rocky Top" are.
Keep in mind this is a running list and are in no particular order!
And to whoever is reading this, I am sure I am missing you as well! XOXO :)
