Home Sweet Home

Three years ago last Friday we became official North Carolina residents. We spent the first weeks painting, unpacking boxes, and planting ourselves in our new life. We were giddy with excitement and worried out of our head. There were more unknowns than I care to remember. We learned more about eachother and ourselves than we could have learned in a lifetime had we stayed in our own back yard. Three years ago. Wow.

Of course it's been hard being so far away from family at times. I've felt the sting of being needed and being too far away to do any good. But somewhere along the way this became home. Home. That's what it is. When did that happen? Was it in year 1? Year 3? Somehow an adventure turned into the norm. Stress turned into comfort. Lonliness into abundance. It's good to be home.
