The longing for home, but yet the attachment here.

So, lately I have been missing home, a lot, but it is not Nebraska I miss, it is the people and the familiarity of everything in Nebraska. I miss being able to call anyone at any time to hang out, I miss knowing everything close to me, and knowing where to go, and where I am. I miss being in my comfort zone, but most of all I miss my friends, I never realized how blessed I am to have so many amazing friends, and one's that I could count on for anything. Here I know Becky, who is amazing, but is also a hour away. The differences continually seem to amaze me.

As some of you know I have been getting restless with the idea of not having any friends here, I tried a few outlets to meet cool people to hang out with, and none of them were too successful. Anyway after about a month and a half, I have been feeling almost desperate about finding friends, or even someone just to talk to. After being with children for 9 hours a day, you need some "grown up" time. Anyway after feeling this way I finally gave up, and was like it is going to happen just not on my time, so in doing so I enrolled full time at metro for online class and it is working so far to keep me occupied. I did however have the chance this weekend to meet new friends, it was a lot of fun, and finally I feel like things are looking up.

I don't know how I will ever be able to meet the type of friends I have back home, but I am starting to be more optimistic about meeting people here :)
