So I guess Rachael is rubbing off on me....

I say this because she is emotional and cries really easy. We are very different in that way, but I still love her a ton.

While I've been home I have cried more than usual... which means I have cried at all haha. Yeah, not a big crier. But a couple of times here when I've been talking about Atlanta, poverty, etc, and especially when I try to talk about our kids, I haven't been able to keep from crying. I started crying on the stage in front of my church for goodness sake.

I think being away from it and being able to rest allows me to see how deep everything there has affected me emotionally, even though I am a robot. When I am there I can't really afford to cry about everything that should be cried about, because I am right there in the middle of it and there is work to be done and all. I don't have to keep that kind of control or distance here I guess. Maybe that makes sense, maybe not, but that's my theory.
