It's completely understandable and not whiny at all. If I could give you a great big hug, I would.<br /><br />Believe it or not, sometimes I feel the opposite with missing life back in Michigan and being with old friends and eating Ranch dressing and Twizzlers, but definitely not together, and missing our old church. And that's okay, too.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852330284939615587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-76815374499074430792009-08-23T01:20:53.469-04:002009-08-23T01:20:53.469-04:00I know how much you must miss your wonderful life ...I know how much you must miss your wonderful life in the UK. I used to love to read your posts about your adventures there. Hopefully you will get settled in here in the states and not missed things so much. I would not feel guilty. England is an amazing place and I would be missing it to, if I had lived there for 6 years.

We've been Oklahomans for 20 years this year. When I cross that Red River going south though it comes right back to me that I'm a Texas girl. Then when we come back home to Oklahoma I breath a sigh of relief in this direction too. I don't have any wise words about it...just kind of understand how you feel.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-12333732952789376362009-08-22T15:28:30.681-04:002009-08-22T15:28:30.681-04:00Totally remember feeling the way you guys do right...Totally remember feeling the way you guys do right now...I love that you are capturing all of it in your blog!

I can understand, we moved back to the North two and a half years ago, after living in the South for almost five years. I am just now starting to feel like this is home again. And to tell you the truth, if I could move back down, I would do it in a minute. I will be praying for you.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390913758082776613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-51757977052432890902009-08-20T18:24:20.345-04:002009-08-20T18:24:20.345-04:00Sorry you're feeling homesick!

I wanted to go see Julie and Julia before the girls went off to college, but it is too late now.
