still feeling sick

Only now it is more often than not homesick. It is a very weird thing. I am very glad to be here. I love our house, all the family that is here, it is so awesome to have lunch with Tracy and the girls, or to go swimming, or having coffee with my sisters. Even stopping in at my mom's for 15 minutes like I did last night...but I still have moments of homesickness lately. I miss our church, my homeschooling friends, and familiarity. I just want Blake and Kori to bring over ice cream! LOL!!!
I was sort of anticipating that this would happen, but I guess I wasn't really expecting it to be this way. It actually started while we were watching a hockey game. The view of downtown that they showed before a commercial gave me a pang of sadness! It was very weird. Sometimes Greg and I watch the Calgary news coverage instead of local news, just so we can feel 'normal'. Humans are funny beings, heh?
I got a newsletter from AHEA yesterday (the Alberta Home Educators Association) and I knew many of the people who were pictured or wrote articles in it, and it brought tears to my eyes! I got an e-mail from the leader of our old home group, and I was crying like crazy in front of my computer! I need to remember that we spent our entire adult lives in Calgary, and there is bound to be an adjustment period. It just sort of startled me (and I am going to use hormones as a partial excuse! Pregnancy is good for that!)
The reason I feel so surprised I think, is that our transition has been relatively seamless. We have a great homeschooling group here, we have instant friends in Tracy, my sisters and the girls' cousins. And we have each other. It's not like when Greg and I moved to Calgary. He went out of town to work, I had no one there, no friends, no family, and worst of all no relationship with God. Here it is opposite. We still know that God orders our steps, and that we are here now because He made it possible, we have friends, family, kids and my hubby to date hasn't had to work out of town. Pray for us in our church search! We need a fellowship!
