On the Home Stretch...I Hope!

Well, I think I am getting better day by day from this cold and am in high hopes that the cough will be gone by the time I go to Memphis in a few weeks. I ended up not going to another doctor because my lung started feeling a lot better the day after I went to the first doctor, so I figured that was a good sign that I would be ok. So anyway, overall, I'm feeling better and hope to be completely well soon!

The weather here definitely feels like spring. Molly and I have been enjoying longer walks each day just so that we can be outside. It reminds me of Starkville and picnics at the winery and everyone just hanging out outside. It definitely makes me miss our friends and having people close by to hang out with during the day. I've been at home all week by myself, and yesterday I think I had just had enough. When William got home from work, we went to try out a new sno cone place. When we lived in Starkville, my friend, Jamie, and I would go get sno cones together and just hang out outside when the weather was pretty. I thought going to get one with William might help take away a little bit of me missing friends.  Wrong. The sno cones were quite disappointing and it's just not the same since William doesn't really even care that much for sno cones. Well once we got home I pretty much lost it. I had been feeling really lonely all day, I was missing our friends and needed some hang out time with a girlfriend, and my sno cone was disappointing. In tears, I told William "I'm not having a good day!" and pretty much lost it from there. It's not that I'm unhappy here, I just have my days where I really, really need someone to hang out with and wish it wasn't such a chore to try to find someone to do so. William is definitely my best friend, but sometimes I just need girl time, which, of course, he can't really give me! I just miss having people close by who can stop by or I can go see easily. I also miss having people around who are in the same phase of life as we are. Yes, we have couple friends here, but now that we're having a baby, I feel like we're entering into a new phase of life by ourselves. While it is exciting, it is also, somewhat frightening, and it would be nice to have someone who could relate! Anyway, I am feeling better today and know that God has us here for a reason, in this situation, with the people we know around us, and whether I see why or not, He is sovereign and is taking care of us. So, I guess you could say I'm definitely ready for a trip to Memphis! (and yes, I'll be getting a good sno cone while I'm there!- anyone care to join?)
