Dreams... Maybe I'm a little homesick...

I’ve had two dreams in the last week about taking really really long drives to visit people for a very short amount of time.

In the first dream I was going to drive 16 hours to deliver something near WV and visit my sister and the rest of my family while I was at it.  However, it was Monday and I knew I had to be back by Thursday so basically I would get to spend one day with my family and have to drive home.

This morning I had the second dream.  In it I got up early, early, early on a Sunday morning and drove to Baton Rouge getting there as Gena and them were getting out of church.  Her Mom and sister, Crysta, were there too.  It was 9am when I got there (the must have gone to the early service) and I had to leave by 1pm to get home for something going on that night.  I had four whole hours to spend there.

This morning as I thought about the fact that in both dreams I was willing to drive a long distance for a very short visit, I wondered if maybe I’m just a little homesick for my family and friends?  

I’m headed to Baltimore in a little over a week and a half to see Liz and Pete.  That will be a fun weekend.  I just wish I a. had more money and b. had more time off to visit a few other people.  I absolutely love LOVE my friends and “family” here, but I guess I’m just missing those people I don’t get to see as often.
