I was thinking...

If I lived in an apartment the kitchen would look exactly like my home one does now.

Mac & cheese in the making, cheese wizz and saltines as an appitizer, backback and laptop on the comunter from just getting done with school and just needing to get more school done. And of course it would be covered in PINK!

The fridge and pantry would be packed with much more veggie-friendly-ness and there would be 2 less razors in my shower and less clothes on my floor BUT...

In a little while my favorite people wouldn't be home. You know those ones that mostly share my DNA and facial features.

I wouldn't get to discuss random drama with Tracie in the middle of the day in that small time when we were both here at the same time and have her burst into song in answer to my question.

I wouldn't be able to hear Amie's sweet voice above the blaring radio, or Hannah on her clarenet or Tanner on his Cello.

I woulddn't get to say Goodnight to my Dad a zillion time before we both actually end up in our rooms or ask him why he didn't tell me I had stuff on my face.

Britt wouldn't be there for me to vent to or her to vent to me in our various states of readyness for the day, her hair in a towl or me rolling out of bed without brushing my hair yet or just saying good morning and then bye before one of us leaves.

I wouldn't get to call Tanner a "beautiful man flower" or realize that it's not just me that he doesn't like to talk to on the phone.

I wouldn't have Amie as my shiny example of reading her scriptures everynight before bed and going to bed on time and prepaing for the next day before the next day.

Yes I do miss my Hollie and brother Tyler alot!

I miss Hollie and I giggling like little girls at a yucky word and waking up and telling her my bizzar dreams and dancing and going to the grocery store together.

I miss Tyler's joking with, at and about me and laughing really hard and him always being right.

BUT I'm really lucky when it comes to family.

I read my friends blog post about her brother that passed away when they were young and it made me think about these crazy wonderful people that I have in my life, that no matter what support me and I love them with all my heart.

So it's a good day for my positivity level about living at home...again, at 21. Good thing they are so freakishly entertaining and heart warming!
