Home is where...

I like being home.  I like going to Target and actually knowing where everything is.  I like driving around and remembering things.  I like being with people I love in real life.  I like not having to Skype my sister to see her.  I like picking up my sister from school.  I like that I can blog whenever I want.  I like showering without wearing flip flops.  I like eating dinner with my family.  I like lounging around and watching television, even when my house is freezing cold.

This is just a perfect break from school and it came at a great time.  I needed to get away from Drake and dumb stuff there and de-stress after midterms.  I've been able to see friends the weekend after Stronghold and hear about everything while it's still fresh in their mind.  I got to go to church and sit with my family and feel home.  For a long time, especially in high school, I hated Peoria because "there's nothing to do," but now I get really excited when I take the exit onto War Memorial Dr. and know that I'm home.
