day 15

Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

my time in korea taught me a little bit about this.
i guess the things i missed the most are the things i can't live without, right??

1. my mom. i missed her everyday.
2. my sister. i hated not being there with her.

3. the rest of my family. the times i would feel most homesick was when my family was all together for dinners or events and i wasn't there. it really got to me. i don't think i could have survived without knowing that one day i'd be back with them.
4. dan. it was weird to be without him. i'd been best friends with him for years and years. i got to be with him at the mtc for 8 weeks. but that night that i had to say goodbye to him for good broke my heart. that was one of the first times that my whole district saw me cry. i thought that we'd grow apart on our missions because mail took about 3 months between countries. and after i got home and he was still gone it was so hard somedays to accept that he wasn't there. i'm SO glad that we picked up right where we left off after he got home. he's my very best friend. and although i know one day we'll both get married to different people and not be able to hang out every day, i hope we can be great friends forever.
5. cheese. oh, i missed having cheese around. i don't think i can live without eating cheese. it's great.
6. milk. just ask my mom.
7. peanut butter.

that's probably about it. i love a lot of things and a lot of people. so don't be offended if you think i can live without you.

i'm sure God puts people in my life at certain times because he knows that I couldn't live without them otherwise. I'm absolutely certain that I could not get through life as I live it now without my roommates, annalie, my nursing class, sarah, and other people. like the people who send me random text messages and say "I was just thinking about you. I love you." MAKE MY DAY! :)

So, thanks everyone.
