This weekend I discovered solutions to homesickness....
1) Stay out of my new home
2) Take a day trip to a near-by city
3) Go to the gym and run till you can't breathe
4) Eat sushi
5) Stay out of my new home (Again)
The problem to following through with these solutions is the one thing that everyone wishes they had more of, money.
Gym membership is €80 a month, cello lessons € 120 a month, sushi €15 a meal, train tickets €20, excess travel expenses... who knows. And keep in mind that the US economy is not doing so hot so the exchange rate is about
$1.50 = €1. You can do the math for all those conversions if you would like :)
So looks like some things such as gelato need to be cut out of this budget.
Only if money rained down like the fast Italian language... I will figure something out!

Oh Hannalee, I am so sorry you are feeling homesick. I have had my own struggle with it myself. Moving to Belgium last year was hard for me too and I still have my days of feeling homesick. And I am old and had my family with me. :(
I will pray for God to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. I know that He has pulled me through more than once.
Love and (((HUGS)))
