Lilo's Love

Last night I went to Lilo's house for dinner. Possibly one of the best experiences of my life. I almost wept with joy when I saw all the home cooked food, including vegetables! We had chicken, steak, salad, colliflower, brocolli, green beans, carrots and potatoes. It was so nice to be in a home, with a warm and loving atmosphere. Nothing will ever compare to being at my home with my family, but it was still so wonderful. I also got to see her sister, who was one of my campers last summer. When I got "home" to my residence, everyone was jealous because the cafeteria served a very questionable, very icky meat-on-bun type of thing. We even had dessert! Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream:) AND...the apples were from their apple tree.

I'm having a homesick moment. And by moment I mean day. And by day I mean week. And by week, I mean three weeks. I miss being in a home, with a family. I miss not having to share my room, and not having to eat in a dirty cafeteria. I miss mum hugs, and dad hugs. I miss having a bed that I didn't have to worry about falling out of. I miss being able to do laundry without spending a small fortune. I miss knowing where I fit in. I miss having a sense of belonging. I miss having Laura as my cup/jacket/purse/candy/whatever else holder in my car. I miss her in general. I miss having my own space. I miss having a family to come home to. I miss not having cinderblock walls. I miss having a church where everyone knows me, and I know everyone.

It's not that I don't like my school, or love the friends that I have in Edmonton. I'm just homesick. I am praying, and I'm good with God.
