That Wanting Feeling

Two posts in one day, I know, too much. But I'm trying to build up the content on my blog, and also, I got inspired to write a post.

I am so extremely excited (and extremely stressed) about the next three months. I will meet new people and challenge myself in new classes and hopefully get emotionally stronger. But, I was looking through my old pictures on my phone, trying to clear up some space to download iOS 7, and I came across all of my Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas pictures. I love the holidays! I want to listen to Christmas music already, but I wait until November to do that.

I think Christmas is something I anticipate so much because it means that I get to go home. I'm leaving Seattle on December 13th this year and I'm already counting down. I love love love Seattle but being home for Christmas is the more comfortable feeling in the world. I miss my family every moment that I'm not with them - my mom, my dad, my brother and our two cats, Bisbee and Zoe, and our dog, Spice.

I'm going to be sad and stressed to leave Levi in Seattle, relying on cat sitters and neighbors to take care of him. I feel like a mom - I worry when I leave him alone for even an hour! I think part of that might be because he has an upper respiratory infection right now.

Anywhere, I know you probably don't care, but here are some pictures of last holiday season that warm my heart.
