What! I'm not at home...?

I can't believe that it's finally Friday. Man, it sure did take a long time to get here. Especially since I have to be at work at 7am...that's a killer! So, you know I've been on this quest to find myself, boy, it is quite the journey! I try to learn something about myself everyday, and this week has just overwhelmed me with things I didn't know about myself. I have officially decided that Child Life is something that I want to whole heartedly pursue. Now I know you are probably thinking, isn't that the whole reason why you moved to Springfield. I would answer yes, but since I've been here, it seems as though my whole world has turned upside down. Not in a bad way, just different. I typically enjoy change, I don't like doing the same thing for very long. I am always on the move, but moving here has been a challenge. I don't know why quite yet. I have made some steps forward. I've joined a Child Life organization on campus, I volunteer at Cox South, I'm apart of a Scrapbooking club at church, and I read to children in a new Coffee House downtown. On top of that, I work full time at a church and I take a class once a week in the afternoon. You would think that I would be back into the swing of things. Then I was talking to a friend earlier this week and I figured out why I feel the way that I do. It's because Springfield, to me, isn't home. My first impression of Springfield was and still is a college town, it's where I went to college. Whenever I wanted to leave I would go home (KC). Now that I "live" here, it's not home to me. Even though I work here, have a house here, all my stuff is here, it's not home. I don't know how to make it feel like home. Also, I can't go to KC as often as I would like...not for any particular reason, it's just that I've filled my life here with stuff to do, that now, going to KC isn't really an option. I really didn't think I would be so home sick, but I guess I am. If anyone has a suggestion of how to get over this big hump, please, I welcome your comments! Sorry for the really long blog, I just had to get this off my chest. I feel much better now! :)
