I am finding myself homesick for the first time in my life. Yes, I have missed people before, but I have never experienced homesickness. Although (other than the time I spent with Mel in New York) I have never lived outside of Montana. I miss Montana. I miss the mountains, I miss the fresh air, I miss the slow pace, I miss being able to drive to the store whenever. I miss talking on the phone, I miss my family and friends a lot...I miss everything. The thought that I am so far away from home is unsettling. I really thought that I would love living in a big city. In retrospect, I don't know why I thought that. I don't like big crowds of people, I don't like feeling rushed, I don't enjoy public transportation, and I don't like loudness.
Well, the good news is that now I know. It turns out that Tyler is much more adaptable than me. And for those of you who thought that we would stay here forever, don't worry. And for those of you worried that we would live far away from home.... you don't need to be afraid any longer.

We miss you here! But what a great bonding time for you and Tyler...you will look back and think good things I am sure! I hope you have a better week.
Kelly, I know what homesickness is because my parents sent me to camp for a month when I was only 7. You are so lucky, though, that you have Tyler. Spring is coming soon for you and I know that things will be better for you then. We miss you, too. I check the computer every half hour at night so that we can visit.
I love you.

Kelly - I got so homesick at Girl Scout Camp one year that I spent the last 3 days in the nurse's cabin sick, throwing up, and sleeping. Magically, when it was time to go home, I felt great!! I use to get homesick so bad that I couldn't even make it through a night at a friend's house until I got into high school. When I went to Europe for a month I was very homesick at first, but after I made friends, it was much better. We all miss you and Tyler. Can't wait to see you both!! Love you TOO, Kathy
