You know that feeling that you get when you're away. You miss all elements of home. The ease of wearing your favorite slippers. The soft sheets on your perfectly cushioned bed. The smell of mixed fragrances from old candles and homemade breakfasts. And then there's the people. The wonderful little people that make coming home a whole wonderful feeling all its own. Home.
We came back from Georgia yesterday. The 16.5 hour drive makes me have an appreciation for airplanes. Although it gives you time to think. Driving through the flatlands of Kansas made me appreciate sunrises and sunsets. Driving the distances in Missouri gave me an appreciation for patience and good company to pass the time. Driving on the rough roads of Illinois and Kentucky made me appreciate our tires and the fragility of our brakes when coming up on deer. Driving on the weaving roads of Tennessee at night gave me an appreciation for the mountains, those dark silent giants that greet and hug you close. Driving into Georgia gave me a plethora of appreciation. But mostly of trees. They really do know how to grow them some trees down there.
I wanted to take many, many more pictures than I was able to during our stay. But with all of the interviewing I did -three days, including one day lasting from 9am to 5pm- I wasn't able to capture our trip in photos this time. But, hopefully we'll be back there soon :) I'll keep you posted.
One thing is for certain, we can't wait to call this place home.
While we were there, we did get the opportunity to see Jess. She came in from Charlotte to stay with us for a day.
We were able to take a stroll around the UGA campus
and found our own little treasure, a secret garden:
And as many of those interviewing me could tell you, I am most thankful for the opportunity to have made it this far. For getting through the past few years and being where we are now. And we have all of you to appreciate for helping us get here.
