like clockwork.

it doesn't matter how great church was or how delicious my sunday dinner was [it never is delicious, by the way],

every sunday at exactly 6:40pm i get the sunday blues.

all i can think about is my family and how much i miss them all.

i miss my mom's food, happy disposition, and ability to make me smile even when i'm in the worst mood.

i miss my dad's jokes, his love for improv everywhere videos, and his sunday sweet tooth.

i miss kirsten's laugh and aaron's willingness to fix everything in the house and their ninos' craziness.

i miss kris and jenn and seeing how awesome parents they are.

i miss kirk's hatred for pineapple on pizza and talking about music and movies and art with eva.

i miss playing singstar with kari and trying our hardest to get the highest score on the queen version.

i miss karl's sense of humor and how much fun i have talking with him.

even though i am so grateful for this opportunity i have to gain an education here, it's still very difficult to be away from my family.

if your name was listed above, i hope you know that

i love you very much

and

i miss you.
