I've always thought of homesick as a negative word- for me it carries a connotation that I'm not tough enough, can't go with the flow, or don't want to experience what the world has to offer. But lately I'm beginning to think the word just means that you are in love with a city, a place, the people.
These past two weeks have been the toughest that I've experienced here. It's bizarre timing; why now? I think it's partially because Aaron's going home and I can't, the Seahawks are doing so well and I want to be immersed in the Seattle pride, I thought I'd get to see some of the family I haven't seen soon and I'm not... All these things have just been tough.
London is such a cool city and traveling is amazing - it's a once in a lifetime experience and we are very lucky. I also don't know what I'd do without Aaron by my side. But there really is no place like home or Seattle or all the people that know and love us - we really miss you all! Now who's ready to book a room at the Whamley Bed and Breakfast in London? Special rates for those that book before March!
Love you, my dear. I know it's not always easy and the homesickness hits at weird times. But try to enjoy all the awesome adventures and I can't wait to see you in NYC next weekend!!! ��������
ReplyDeleteUgh, it is funny how it hits at random times. (I realize I sound like a broken record after Katie, but we have experience with this kind of thing - on a much smaller scale!). Anyways, it's okay to have waves of homesickness - it means you're human after all! Thinking of you. xoxo
