i really miss my family. it's hard to be 800 miles away
I bet! Hopefully you can take some time off and go see them soon!
it's really hard to do that in a one income household. 
I understand, I'm sure your family misses you as well. Maybe you can meet half way for the holidays.
they won't even bother there are too many of them and always say it's cheaper for you guys to just come down.
