Missing Family

Moving to a new state is so hard. I don't regret it because a lot has been accomplished here, but it does make keeping in contact hard. We are all busy with a lot going on in our lives, so keeping up with people can be difficult at times. 

This year, as I focus more on my photography goals, I will also be focusing on family. 

I get to see my mom soon! I also get to hang out with my aunt and cousin, which is really exciting because it has been years since all of us have been under the same roof. Another cousin of mine is getting married this year, and I am honored to have been asked to capture her day. I hope to surprise my nephews that same trip! It is hard being away from them and not seeing them grow up. I feel guilty as an aunt that I am so far away, and don't know them well. That is another thing I will be working on this year - being a bigger part of their lives, even from far away. 

I miss my Mama and Papa. I have the best grandparents, and they are and always have been there for me. I can't wait to see them later this year, and give them the biggest hugs. I also can't wait to see my Dad and sister that visit as well. 

This move was for the betterment of my mental health, photography growth, personal growth, and marital growth, but I am forever missing everyone back "home". I am sure I am not alone in this feeling.
