Missing Home

Must be the holidays drawing near or the fact that it still doesn't feel like Christmas when it's in the 70's... Or maybe it's because my husband's team is advancing in the playoffs (which is great) but it means I am still missing him like crazy!! Maybe it's because we had a video chat with my family last Sunday and it made me miss them even more! Maybe it's the thought of wanting to find jobs closer to home, or even better, in LINCOLN (by the way, those that miss the Shanle's could pray that God would provide a coaching/teaching gig for Andy back home)!! Maybe it's just the thought of settling down in a city I grew up in, with family nearby, and purchasing a house with a backyard where Brode and "future" babies can play in. Yes, I was always the independent one and yes, I was the one who thought she could live far, far from home! But that was before I had a loving husband and healthy, beautiful son. Now that I have a family which I adore and an immediate family in Lincoln, there is no reason for me to live 13 hours away!! Can you guess how my heart is feeling today? I know God won't allow me to face anything I can't handle, so I'll continue to count down the days until Christmas break. And I'll continue to pray that God would bring use closer to home. More importantly I'll continue to pray that I'd take one day at a time, remain supportive of my husband, and be a good mommy for my son. Basically, I just miss home. I need to hear from my friends and family today! Don't forget to vote on our new poll. And word to the wise, if your answer is "no" just don't vote! =) Missing you...
