Home again...

I almost had to get my password emailed to me for this it'd been so long since I logged in!

I debated whether or not I'd blog about what I did back in the States, but look, I didn't even take one picture while I was there, so how was I gonna blog about it?? I've heard of people who purposely leave their cameras at home when they travel, so they can truly appreciate everything they are seeing and doing, rather than worrying about capturing it with a lens. Maybe that's my excuse. Or maybe...just maybe...I was extremely lazy.

I DID, regardless of the fact I have no photographic proof, have the most amazing trip back home though! Without going into too much detail, I got to do all the things I wanted to pretty much. I got to:  spend time, most importantly, with the 2 people that gave me life; see my sister quite a bit; spend time with Barry & Joyce; hang out with my BFF since 6th grade (I know she's really my friend because she befriended me when I was the new girl, saw me through a bowl cut hairdo in 7th grade, and took band with me in high school), Mary; go on Lakeshore/TCBY/dinner dates with my SoulCate; spend too much $$ at restaurants and see Hunger Games at midnight with Ashley; have dinner dates with Al Pal & SB; visit all my JTV family one more time; see all my favorite people in Savannah for St. Patrick's Day; and spend a couple days in the most perfect city of all time - Charleston, SC.

I wouldn't have changed one thing about my trip. Except maybe stayed longer if I could! (I ran out of time to eat at Tomato Head...big sad face.) It was such a blessing that I was able to get this 3-week visit in while Jason was in the field. We head back to the States in just 9 days, but this will mostly be his time to see friends and say bye to everyone before another deployment this summer. I'm, of course, so excited to be back again, but this time it's only for 8 days. And I can't help but keep thinking about that goodbye at the airport. I mean, come on, I bawled like a baby when I left this time! There is just no hope of me ever holding it together again in an airport. But really, it's just going to be perfect to be home with Jason this time. He's always so good at making the most of his time there. I'm just along for the ride...
