Home is where the heart is

I realized today that I have not blogged since I have been home, mostly because blogging was an excuse to procrastinate doing homework/lesson plans and I haven’t needed to procrastinate anything.

Life at home is wonderful! Sunday morning my mom came home from church just as I was about to make myself a bowel of cereal. I slightly mentioned how amazing an omelet would taste on this wonderful Sabbath day right before going to worship our Savior, and guess what… My mom whipped me up a delicious omelet right then. It was awesome! I can’t figure out why I ever wanted to leave home.

I was super blessed to have gotten a good summer job. It is really fun and the pay is pretty good. To make it even better I work along side many special education teachers who have been sharing their experiences and advice with me. It’s great to just sit and talk to people who are so passionate about the same things I am.

Mostly I have just had time to relax since I have been home and it has been heavenly!! When I was in Hawaii I was always stressing about something. Even on the weekends when I would try to go out and have fun I would be worrying about the upcoming week or something ridiculous. My craziness kept me from completely opening up and having loads of fun making new friends. But since I have been home all my stress has been gone, and I’m making up tenfold for everything my stress made me miss out on.

All in all I love being home. I miss my friends in Hawaii, Thai food, the cute little things my kindergarteners would say and a few other things, but California is where my heart belongs! It’s time for me to move on to my next adventure and I’m really excited to see what that will be….

Lots of love,
~Mel
