Mama...Mama, I'm Comin' Home

Yes, yes, yes...In just a few days I will be packing up a few things and hittin' the road, heading southbound towards the Lone Star State. I am quite excited for a plethera of reasons. Let me list a few for you today:

1) I can't wait to see my mom. I know it sounds goofy and a bit underaged for me, but even at 22, I'm still a Mama's boy. I haven't seen her since the Sugar Bowl, and I am so excited to get home and spend some quality time talking about life and all the things that resemble it.

2) I can't wait to see my brother. Though I miss Tommy wrestling for a bid to become an All-American in just his second year of collegiate athletics, I'm so pumped for the opportunity I have to hang out and shoot the breeze with him. Granted, we'll spend some time with the PS2, and we'll spend some time at the gym, but the time I'm most looking forward to is the couch potato time we'll have to just talk about how life and God is treating both of us.

3) I can't wait to see something other than snow. I know the cold has broken a bit, and I can go outside without a thick jacket, but I'm so excited to walk outside in a tee shirt and still break a sweat. Along with this, I get to play a few rounds of golf at home, and that always spells fun AND trouble for me.

4) I can't wait to receive motherly counsel about my future. As much as I hate to admit it, my mom has been right about more things in my life than she has been wrong. Now, I still have a set of luggage she told me not to get and I don't regret my choice of the expensive laptop, but on most other cases, she's predicted how I would handle most other things. At this point in time, I'm still in the decision process of where I'm going to be come June, and I'm excited that my mom has some input. It will be nice to get away from my options and perhaps a few biases, and get home to a woman who cares about nothing else outside of my own joy.

So needless to say, I am ready to head home. It's a long drive, but I love the open road. More than that, I love the feeling when the car comes to rest in the driveway. Kinda makes me think of how awesome it'll be when my car comes to rest at the gates of Heaven...sorry to go and get all Christian-like on y'all.

Home Sweet Home
