Going Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In five days will pack a suitcase, jump in the car, drive an hour and a half to the airport, and after a 50 minute flight, I will land safe and sound back in Houston. Sure, flying home results in only a slightly shorter amount of travel time, and probably a whole lot more stress, but it doesn't matter, I'M GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Obviously, I haven't been back since I left at the beginning of the semester and so I'm REALLY looking forward to this trip. Not only do I get to see family and friends, enjoy some home cooked meals (Daddy always told us we wouldn't appreciate how wonderful of a cook my momma is until we left for college. Boy, was he right!), but I'll also be reunited with my sewing machine and fully equipped and functional kitchen!!!!! 


I'm aware of the fact that things will be different when I get back. Planner that I am, I've already starting thinking about what I wanted to pack for the week and it all suddenly felt really weird to me. While it's be said that home is where your heart is, I'm pretty sure it might as well be where your stuff is. Home is supposed to have everything you need, the fact that I need to pack like I would any other trip in order to go home, is just strange. 


Even stranger is the fact that I'm actually looking forward to these changes. I can't wait to see what's new and different, and while it may be a little disconcerting, I'm taking comfort in the fact that I'm  different too, and, no, I don't just mean the nose ring.


That's all to say, Clear Lake, I can't wait to be back and I'm looking forward to seeing you all and the story swapping :)
