dreaming of yiz

so two months is apparently how long i can go without being significantly homesick. i was talking to shanna tonight and she described it so well...you might be living somewhere (say, oregon) and feel like some of your needs aren't getting met there, so you move somewhere else (say, boston) and bam! you get those needs met, or at least start to. but the needs you where getting met in oregon aren't getting met now in boston, so, in a way, you're back to square one. it's just a different square one then before.

dont get me wrong. as much as i might express homesickness, i really do love it here. and i still think i'm in the right place, which is highly comforting. i just wish i could have my family and oregon friends and especially oregon babies (geneva and matea and their soon-to-be-born baby brothers!!) here with me in my new life. i suppose in this life you can never have all of your needs met all at once. but it would be nice.

shanna told me that she was driving with geneva the other day and out of the blue, geneva said "i'm dreaming about yiz." (that's what she calls me). how cute is that? then she said, "i want her to come home now." i want to come, home, too, geneves! i can't wait to see her at christmas. i swear that girl is the love of my life! no offense, anyone else.
