"Another [autumn] day, has come and gone away, in [Greenville, Illinois], and I want to go home..."

I love it here. I love my girls. I love my friends. But I need a break. I haven't been home since August 4th, and I desperately need to go back. I will be home in a little less than 5 days from right now, and I am so excited! Pray that these next few days go by quickly so that I can hop on a plane and fly back to my home. I was working out this morning and I had a conversation with a man from the community. We talked about how my family celebrates Thanksgiving, and we talked about how excited he is to see his 12 grandchildren. Anyway, he said that one of the greatest gifts God gave us was the ability to have a thankful heart. Well, right now, more than anything, I'm thankful that I have amazing, loving parents, and an amazing loving brother to go home to. I can't wait for Wednesday.
