Intruder

I'm hoping to blog more this summer so that a few of my good friends that I will not see for a few, can understand what it is like to be a carni. First off Zac don't worry you'll be here soon enough and Kenny you should come and ditch the love birds to chill with me and Zac, I'll get you a couple of passes for a show or two.
Well on Sunday afternoon, when my aunt and I returned to her humble home, her three dautghers came running out of the house to greet us. They mentioned how much they had missed us and were glad that we were home.
I followed the four of them into the house and sat back to watch my aunt go up to the living room and sit there with my uncle and their 4 kids. I felt like I was somewhere where I shouldn't be. Not that I couldn't have joined them and been welcomed, but I felt like they needed their time as a family.
It helped me see what really does matter here in this life time and that is to be able to have a family and be able to support them. I know it's not easy to have one, trust me I've expeirenced it here over the past week, but it's the little moments that makes everything else pass away. It also made me feel homesick. I've never felt like that before y I've traveled a ton. On my mission I never once was home sick. But this past weekend I was.
