feeling homesick

There have been times since I've lived here in Iowa that I miss my old  homestate of Minnesota. When people at church or at school activities talk about Iowa and I feel leftout because I don't know as much on neighborhoods and people it saddens me. I am from Duluth and proud the Bulldogs college hockey team won the championship for college hockey, yet when I shared my enthusiasm with my sports loving pastor, he kind of shrugged it off, like he did when I mentioned the football team last fall winning Divison 2 championship. It's like I feel like a misfit here, sure I had fun with the women last Friday night a little bit at the women's meeting, but no one  is from minnesota, no one seems to share my interests much, i'm not as outgoing in church as others are, i just feel so sad. today was a rough day, starting to battle a little headache, i miss Duluth right now, cold, snow and all. I was up in Duluth last year and wished we could have stayed longer than we did. I'm sorry to vent, there are times living here I don't feel like I belong here, no one seems to give us as a family some good quality time talking or going out to dinner or anything. The neighbors here aren't real friendly either except for a couple people across the alley when we've been able to see them, but living in iowa has  not been my favorite time of my life. Thanks for letting me vent, that is what is on my heart for today. hope to have a better blog tomorrow.
