And I spoke too soon...

Well, as you can see, I haven't shared any heartwarming stories of my life at home recently. This is because I am not home. Surprise! After an incredible weekend in Edisto with the India team, I came back to Clemson and was blessed with an awesome job as a nanny to four children. Five year old triplets plus little Wyatt. It has been an interesting ride so far, learning how to have patience, discipline well, serve without expecting anything back, and have fun like a kid again. I will have to post some pictures as soon as possible, they are the cutest little things. :)

In other news, I bought a longboard!! It's about time. Hurrah!

EmHomeLife

So perhaps no one else will find my life at home as interesting or exciting as I do. But I've found that when at home, there is a time or two every couple of hours that I suddenly have an intense longing to call up a friend and share a moment that just warmed my heart, the pride I feel for a sibling, or the hilarious adventure that I just went on.

Unfortunately, these times just aren't the same to others as to myself. The exact position I'm in is due to the intersection of the time in history and my experiences in society (as us Sociologists would say it). Therefore no one will ever experience what I do in quite the same way I do.

So here's my solution: I will write about this phenomenon I call Emhomelife. Whether you read or not, I will be logging my favorite times with my favorite family... but feel free to read. ;)
