Feeling Nostalgic...

...and I have been since A called me out of the blue about a month ago. I had a dream about my grandmother that night, and I decided to use my free plane ticket from Southwest to go visit her this summer. There's something about Autumn that makes me so homesick for Michigan. I wish that I could go visit right now while the leaves are still turning colors, but I'll have to wait until summer...I need to make sure that I enjoy this summer as it will be my last as a student (!). I feel so restless right now. I feel like I'm "in between" but I don't want to live my life like I am. If I had my druthers, I would just pick up and move to Seattle right now, but I need to wait it out one more year and finish school. : (

Sometimes I wonder whether I'll ever end up back in Michigan. I really love it there, but could I really be happy living in a small town like Plainwell or Kalamazoo? What would my career possibilities look like? I do so want to live in a place where the seasons change...

Maybe I'm just feeling antsy and restless because I've been living in this area for four years now...

Nicole and I say that everytime the season is supposed to change here and doesn't. She is most distraught by the fact we have little to no red trees. It's all yellow in good ole' Reno.

We're anxious to vacate back East but alas, damn school.

So believe me, I understand, and sympathize.
