It feels a little bittersweet to be going back to Lexington after being home for almost four months. While I’m excited to be back in our own apartment, there are a few things that I’m going to miss.
- Working from home with mom and/or dad on a regular basis.
- Trips to the gym or out to lunch with my mom
- Daily happy hour at 5
- Being in walking distance of my friends
- Eating on the deck
- Family dinners
- Checking in on the yard and watering the plants
- Walking/ running around the block that I grew up on
- Random brother sightings throughout the day
- Snuggling to Planet Earth in my bro’s room
- Hanging out in my parents’ room right before bed
This post is making me a little sad, but I just need to remember all the good things that I’m looking forward to (like going on walks and cooking dinner in our own kitchen!) I’m not looking forward to unpacking so much.
What’s your favorite thing about being home?
P.S. I borrowed baby bro’s lens to take this and several other photos for my mom’s Facebook page. I’ve recently appointed myself as her social media director, and I’m kind of obsessed. If you’re in the Northern Virginia area, or just like looking at pretty houses, like her page!
I love Planet Earth! (But it has to be the British version with David Attenborough!) For some reason this post made me homesick. Boo!
Has it been 4 months already? Time is flying. I hope you guys have a safe trip back “home” and you get settled quickly! Nothing worse than living out of a suitcase for months. {trust me}
I can absolutely relate. I just spent 3 months at home and although I really needed to go home and live for myself for a while, there are things I always miss: having coffee with my mom, the smells and sounds of our home, the possibility of our workshop and tools and materials my mom has gathered over years, my little temporary studio in the attic (which gets so hot that you are literally sitting in a sauna ;).
Looking forward to hearing thoughts on your return. What did you miss most about your own place?
