Just miles away.

It's been a while, yet again, since I last blogged. But now it is summer and I have all this free time to not worry about school. I decided to spend some of that time cache that I had set aside for summer to blog some more. I was really excited to blog for some reason. But I hadn't any ideas of what to talk about...until I went upstairs and saw the sunset outside.

For those of you who don't know, I'm in Minnesota right now. We moved here last summer. My house may be in Minnesota, but my home is San Diego, if you catch my drift. Aside from the lack of diversity, lack of friends nearby, lack of suburbias and cityscapes, and lack of Pacific Oceans, everything is okay. I will say, though, that it can be beautiful. We have a lake in our backyard, and our house gets a nice view of the sunset. When I went upstairs, I caught this magnificent site. The sky was a giant tapestry of colors. Greens, reds, yellows, and purples, smoothing and fading into darkness as it grew farther from the horizon. The lake reflected the sky with the surrounding trees silhouetted between it and the firmament.

Yeah, it was a site to see, but I feel like Chris Martin said it best...
"The sky could be blue,
I don't mind.
Without you it's a waste of time.
Could be blue,
Could be gray,
Without you I'm just miles away."

I miss home.

What do you miss?
