I'm home I'm home I'm home!!!

Man, it's great to be back in the Northwest again! The air is so fresh here and it's actually kind of cold which makes my big down comforter even more comfy. I love the feeling of coziness, being snuggled in my bed and walking around in sweaters.

I feel enormously thankful to have such a warm, loving, beautiful place to come home to, I really do. It is somewhat overwhelming though and I'm not yet sure how to express all I have been through and learned and all the emotions stirring in me now. I'm glad I have friends and family who are good listeners.

I can't wait to go hiking and take in more of this fresh rainy air. I seriously forgot how clean and crisp it feels up here. It is a different kind of beauty and it is God's beauty all the same. I love how creative and magnificent He is.

I'm so thrilled to see my family and my friends. I want to see everbody at once but then I wouldn't know who to hug first and I wouldn't want to let go of anyone so it's probably good that I'm seeing people in stages instead of all at the same time. Oh, I just want to see everyone!!!

I am so so so blessed to call this place home and to have my church, which is doing great. We finally got land and preparations are being made for a building!!!!!

Oh! And I got to meet a bunch of the kids in my mom's daycare...so precious! It's so fun having kids around all day.

I love it here so much and I AM LOVED.

Tickled to be home,
