22 and still at home
1 month ago
I am at home. but I don’t feel at home. Having overprotective parents sucks! If you have a parent who pushed you out into the real world when you turned 18 consider yourself lucky!

How to go home
It made me
thankful
 "I am proud of where I am."
How I did it: It took me a year- but I finally made it home! There have been times since I left that I have thought "it would be so much easier just to move back home." Trying to start a new life is hard, and has many ups and downs. Going home helped me to realize why I am doing what I am-- and that I am going to be a better person because of it. I was glad to see my family--- but I am thankful to be back in my -new- home and living my new life.

It made me
happy 
How I did it: I drove home on leave before I deploy. My first stop was in northern CA to visit my Dad, some relatives, and a good friend. Then I did the same in southern CA. Read how I did it…

conflicted on this one
2 months ago
I have been staying with my family for the summer because my husband is deployed to Iraq and while I am loving being back here, I miss my house and my daily life. I am going back home next week but I am sad and happy about this at the same time. I can’t wait to get back into a routine and there are so many things I want to do with my house as far as redecorating and getting things ready for when my husband returns. But on the other hand, I’ve loved being able to spend time with my family and friends and the area where my parents live is so much more convenient as far as the proximity to stores.
I’m definitely going to enjoy my last week here, but nothing beats being in my own home.
66 days to go

I’m going home in 66 days. Time is starting to drag. My boyfriend went back two months ago. So I’m almost halfway through. I just have to wait the same amount of time AGAIN….

countdown

Well in a month and a half I’m going home for 3 weeks before I deploy to Iraq. We’re going to be pretty busy up until then so hopefully the time in between will pass quickly. I look foward to spending time with my family and friends one last time before I go.

I’m going to quit whining and do what I can to make this happen. If I focus on a practical plan, it should be doable by late summer… and that’d be just the right time :)
Home for the holidays
11 months ago
it has been far too long.
I am going to be home in around 10 days. I am super excited. My family does not know I am coming; it’s going to be a surprise. I’ve told all but 1 of my friends [surprise for her too…] and have some good plans. I cannot WAIT to see everyone again—and just be back; I know it will help me appreciate where I am now.
