I can't seem to shake this whole homesick feeling that I've had since Thanksgiving, its even waking me at 4 in the morning and I can't go back to sleep. I wish so badly that we would be spending time in Texas over the Christmas holidays. I would give anything to spend the day with my mom and sister and have lunch or go shopping. Heck, we could not do a darn thing and I'd be happy.

There are times when I like living the military lifestyle. And there are other times when I hate it. Like right now. It just plain and simple sucks that we are being forced to live so far from family and miss out on making memories.

I know there are a lot of cytogenetic opportunities in Houston, unlike Marine Corps bases. Maybe I could become Nick's sugar mama and he could stay home with Audrey. Or we could win the lottery and we could both stay home with her. Yeah, thats it. We'll hit the jackpot. I think I will go buy a scratch off today.
