Equals me not blogging as often as I’d like.
I’ve been in sort of a funk lately, maybe it’s the cold weather… But the other night I watched parts of both A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. I really don’t have a problem with it, since both of them are two of my favorite movies (shutup), but I was on the verge of crying the whole damn time.
Then I got a package from my mom with some shirts in it, and a card that reads
George - We miss you and all the Family Comradery you encouraged - I’m sure Maci wonders where Uncle George went. I have her today and tomorrow.
Be of good cheer, love one another - Tell everyone hi!
Love,
Mom
Which brings tears to my eyes while I’m reading it in the car before I go in to work… then I check out some pictures of Maci that my Brother posted, WHICH DOES MAKE ME CRY! I miss my damn family and this whole snowing thing isn’t helping one bit. I do have the Avon World Sales Leader, and Heather, Jon, Leta and Chuck, September and Steve and the kids… but it’s just not the same. I have to watch my first niece grow up through pictures and it sucks more and more every day. I’m not even mentioning the part where I can’t take time off during Christmas to go see my family, I have to wait until at least January to see them again.
I guess I never thought that I’d miss them THIS much. Hanging out with Andy and Andrew everyday can’t replace the love that my family provides. It’s crazy how the holidays can make you feel.
Hopefully no one saw me crying while I wrote this at work.

George, you’re amazing. You’re seriously the best friend I’ve got out here. I’ve been in a funk too…and it was fun watching those two movies. Every day on my way to work, I always ask myself….”What the fuck am I doing out here?” But then I get to work and you make me smile and I’m so glad I know you
We’ll get through the funk.

I know what it’s like to see a niece/nephew grow up through pictures. My nephew lives 45 mins away and I can NEVER see enough of him. We all get in a funk, but you have the Avon World Sales Leader, et. al. that has to count for something. Even this, shall pass.

I know how you feel. I have to watch my first nephew grow up through photos as well.

This is the reason I don’t move to Salt Lake. I know it would be so much harder for my girl to interact with her cousins and I would miss more time with my niece and nephew.
I am very touched that there are people who care so much for their nieces and nephews.

George, keep that chin up. I think the “funk” hits all of us in some way or another, especially during the Holiday Season. I hope you know what a special guy you are, to at least acknowledge your sensitive side, and to realize what is important. Kisses from California.

It’s snowing! In Texas! It was 80 yesterday. You never warned me about this. I took my ice scrapper out of my car when I moved here thinking I would never have to see it again. But you know what? My windshield is covered in ice. Again.
I like the new site design and January will be here very soon. Take care.

You’re such a sweet uncle. Maci’s lucky to have you, even if it is long-distance.
