Whoa... we're halfway there!

WHOA, LIVIN' ON A PRAYER!!! Take my hand and we'll make it I swear, WHOOAAAA LIVIN' ON A PRAYER!!! Sorry... that's my favorite song on Guitar Hero... hem hem.

But really, this is the halfway point for my internship! I will be living at home in just two months and going back to school in three months.

Halfway is such an awkward place to be. I'm definitely getting homesick and I miss all my friends and family. But I know exactly who and what I will miss from San Antonio.

I miss my mom and dad. Having them here made me realize how quickly I fled the coop and I feel bad that I deserted them right after high school graduation. Well, not deserted, I still call my mother every day!!! They've always told me that they will follow me around the country to wherever my future family ends up, and now I believe them! I love them, and I am so grateful that families are eternal.

I MISS MY CAT. So lame and pathetic, I know. But I think animals relieve stress, and I haven't had one for 2 years and LOOK! I threw out my freakin' BACK because of stress! Do you think the doctor could write me one of those prescriptions for an anxiety cat? (I'm totally serious.)

I miss my friends in Idaho and Utah SO MUCH. It is incredible how much people have kept in touch with me while I'm out here. Thank you all for making me feel like I'm missed.

But...

I love my Alamo First Ward!!! I love the bishopric, I love Institute, I love my friends that I've made. I've even found my Guitar Hero hangout! (You guys back in Provo know how important that is to me!) I can't imagine leaving them behind. I miss them already!

THE FOOD. I don't like Mexican, but I LOVE Tex-Mex, Chuy's is the best BY FAR. Rudy's has the best barbecue babyback ribs at the best prices. BLUEBELL ICE CREAM makes me so so so happy! And all the people at Einstein's Bagels who I know by their first name. How will my tummy ever be happy without those things in my life regularly?

The worst part is that I honestly don't know if I'll ever make it back to San Antonio. Maybe I should look into getting my job out of college here. I would definitely consider living here in the long run.

Just not downtown. NEVER AGAIN!
