On Monday, Novevember 23, I headed west from our Falls Church home to my old stomping grounds in Southwest, Missouri. After a long 18 hour drive, I was finally here.
What have I done this last week? Well, I cleaned out my old bedroom, re-decorated a little, and settled in with my parents. I'm living with good-ol Mom and Dad until early December because we currently have renters in our house. I enjoyed some Thanksgiving festivities and overall just settled back into the area. You can't imagine the culture shock of moving back to a small town + moving back in with your parents. It's been over 8 years since I've lived in the area and it will take a little getting used to. The hardest part is missing my husband. Since we haven't sold our house yet he hasn't made the trip to join me. I'm used to him always being around, and now that it's been a week since I've seen him I'm really starting to miss him. Normally, I would just count down the days, but since it's all dependant on selling our house I have no way of knowing when he'll be able to join me. Not to mention my pregnancy hormones making me a little more sensitive then normal.
So for now, we will just keep our fingers crossed that the house sells quickly and we can start our new life here in Missouri.
