Lonely

This is something I wrote back in October.

This is one of those times. The Professor has some deadlines and travel coming up. He's spending lots of evenings at work.

Some of my family came to Utah for a variety of things recently. But our schedules didn't quite match.

I'm constantly with people. But little people can't quite fill the empty space. I still get thoughts bouncing around and around in my head.

I'm creating relationships in the neighborhood, but they aren't full grown yet.

I'm missing the delightful exchanges that come with joyful friendship. I'm missing the easy (and often aggravating) experience of family. I'm missing the quiet comfort of an uninterrupted evening with my sweetheart.
