Going Home

Ever since my sister moved to California, it's been great to visit her but hard to leave. I think we make the most of the time we have together (even if other people think we're boring!) but it's hard to be so far away sometimes. And Southern California certainly isn't a hard place to spend some time. Nebraska doesn't quite have the same ocean views... 

Vacations and visits are a good way to clear your head. You can, for the most part, leave your worries behind and live in the moment. There are few responsibilities other than having a good time. That also makes returning to reality hard!

Although I am dreading the return to reality, it is easier now than it has been in the past. I still hate saying goodbye to Jamie and Trent. But instead of flying back to Nebraska and my single life, I now have my husband and fur babies waiting for me. I have a house that feels like home to get back to. I have my physical memories of my baby boys, although I carry them in my heart wherever I go. And one day there will be little non-fur feet running to greet me at the door. I am thankful to have such a wonderful place to visit and wonderful people to spend time with, and I am grateful that I have such a love-filled home to return to.
