So, I've been away from my family in Texas for almost a full 4 years and I feel like I've gotten pretty used to being away from them, but then I have days like today and I realize just how much I miss my family. This post won't make sense to very many people, but oh well.
Here is why I got so homesick.
I was listening to the radio yesterday and I heard the name Kidd Kraddick mentioned. Kidd Kraddick was the main guy from the morning radio show that I listened to a lot in middle school and high school. Probably 4 mornings out of every week I listened to "Kidd Kraddick in the morning" on the way to school or getting ready or the many times I was helping my mom throw newspapers. I knew that he was played in other places besides Dallas but I didn't think he was in Utah. Anyway, I'm kind of rambling buuut basically, Kidd Kraddick is being played here now with movin' 100.7 in the mornings and I listened to him today! I seriously teared up... Yeah, for real. The show had almost all the same people and I'm gonna list them like you guys know who they are. Big Al was there! and Kelly and even Shannon! and they all sounded the same. They said "Random Man"! Which I always say, quoting that show, and no one ever knows what I'm talking about.
So yes, it brought back so many memories. I thought of the Friday mornings when I would get ready with my older sister and they just played a bunch of good songs all mixed together.
::sigh::
I appreciate you guys bearing through this post because let's be honest, this probably didn't mean anything to y'all, but, it did to me!
BTW- We signed the papers for our condo and can start moving in on Monday! :)

I miss you every single day sister. I'm so excited for your condo, but so ready for you to come home. Love love love you!
I know what you mean! I tear up a lot. It is quite sad. I am glad that you had a flashback moment. That is awesome. I hope all is well with the condo thing. I am so excited for you! Ben is joining the Air Force so I will be away from family a lot. Clear across the country. We may be in Texas too! So then you could come and visit. Love ya and miss you lots!
HEY lady! I know how you feel...trust me! I had many crying nights missing my family and thinking about memories!
I'm sooo freaking excited for you to move into your own 1st place!! Too bad i won't beable to come over and play. You better post pics. By the way I miss you! I hope the move goes well!
I smiled when I read your post. i used to feel the same way. But now when I go home it's not home anymore. Sure it's alot of fun and alot of memories, but it's not the same. I kind of laughed and wondered what you will say when you leave TCP. Will seeing a mannequin spark a memory or just hearing a song that is played over and over and over at TCP bring back a memory? I think it will be the classic small talk you will remember most. (or the color black)
