I love them

Homesick for....

home.
football games and the smell of dusty pom poms.
everyone talking at once in the kitchen.
holding baby nieces and nephews.
padres games.
jumping off the deck.
grandma reeves Saturday morning scones.
the smell of grandpa jacks red sweater and sound of his "hole in the head"songs.
reading scriptures around the couch.
someone laughing during prayer.
the sound of the wheat grinder in the garage.
the pit.
hiking the rock.
alans red truck.


Growing up I took so many things for granted. Being away from them I sometimes find myself so homesick for them. Life is good and there are a million things I am grateful to have in my life now and I am not saying I don't enjoy living in this moment as well, but when I have a moment to stop and think about everyone and everything back home I simple miss things. Tonight is that moment. I just think it's important to remember memories that helped shape me into who I am today. I am grateful for them. I am grateful for the chance we have to make memories in every year of our lives. I'm sure in the future I will look back and be homesick for the memories I am making now....but today I am enjoying thinking about home.
