Day 23--Home is....
About 18 months ago I posted about leaving my wonderful home in Charleston, SC. I was dreading the move and avoided thinking about it as much as possible. As I was driving home tonight I looked around and thought....someday, I'm going to miss this place.
It kind of shocked me.
I mean, I've said over and over again that I really like it here but the truth is, I really really do!
The Lord has blessed us with wonderful friends, a wonderful church, a fabulous house and an amazing neighborhood to call home. I'm spoiled for the rest of my life since I can walk almost anywhere I want to go. I have calla lillies blooming in my backyard. And blackberries too! I can see Mt. Rainier and Puget Sound from my bedroom window. I get to wear rainboots. And scarves.
I still miss Charleston. I miss my dear friends. I miss our church. I miss the farmer's market and the beach. I really miss the food. I miss all the things that I thought I would miss.
But I love it here too.
As I looked back at this old post I had to smile at the picture I picked of Tacoma. I had no idea what Washington or Tacoma would look like. I didn't know where we would live. I certainly had no idea it was built on a hill! And somehow I managed to pick a picture of a scene I see almost everyday. Somehow I picked a picture of home. I can even pick out the hospital where we had Reed.
Ultimately home is wherever my three boys are. But it's nice to enjoy the other stuff too.
I am so blessed to live in this beautiful place I call home!
