Homesick

Today marks 5 months since I got on a plane and flew over here. Needless to say, I'm feeling a little homesick. It's not just the states that I miss...but my family and friends that I used to chat with on a regular basis. I miss being in the same time zone. I miss walking in Target. I miss pumpkin spice lattes. I miss the mall! Oh gosh, don't I sound vain? I know that Mike and I are meant to be here and we've seen so much. We've made great friends and have really set up a great life for ourselves. I am just having a moment where I'm allowing myself to miss where I came from : ( 

On a positive note, work is a lot of fun. I really enjoy the two other kindergarten teachers that I work so closely with. I like our little school. And I love my class! It's great to see them finally in a routine and to see the progress they've already made in two short months. I love being responsible for these little guys and making fun memories for them. It's so funny though. They think I'm like some superhero that doesn't eat or sleep. Seriously. During snack time, if I'm having a snack, they get this shocked look on their little faces and ask me why I'm eating. If I bump into them at the grocery store, they wonder why I'm there and not at school. It's hilarious. 

To end this post, I want to add what Mike said to me in his sleep while I was getting ready for work this morning. 

Mike: "Hey, Honey?" 

Me: "Yes?"

Mike: "Don't wear spandex shorts."

Me: "What?"

Mike: "Don't wear spandex shorts."

Me: "Why?"

Mike: "Because I know you will."

Ha ha! I mean seriously? Did he honestly think I was going to strap on a pair of spandex and prance my butt into work? I talked to him about our little conversation this afternoon and he has no memory of saying this. I wonder what he was dreaming about...
