We're BAAACK.......

Cover up....ready to fly?

4 plane trips, 4 states, 1 wedding, a lot of tears, approximately 24.5 hours in the car....friends, family, extra pounds, a whole lot of extra baggage, uh... luggage.....And we find ourselves home. How weird is that? Taiwan.... Home ?
I've had this discussion with Will a bunch of times- regarding my feelings of "home." And it truly is a feeling- I know you know what I'm talking about- when you're in your house or apartment... even the state your in, either you feel it or you don't. I haven't felt it in a long time. And yes of course home is where your family is and all that crap, but I feel as if that's implied. I mean, home is where my main men are-don't get me wrong... It's not who I'm with, it's just where I'm at, my surroundings I guess. Is this making any sense? Let's take a look..Front Royal? Nope, never really felt like home- Richmond? Nah... Manassas,  yeah, more than the other places in Va. NJ? Absolutely. I can't help it. I feel at home as soon as I cross the PA border- being there makes me feel good. The people make me feel good. (Keep your NJ comments to yourself). I just feel "it" when I'm there. And interestingly enough, I'm feeling that way about Taiwan. - I feel less restless here-the culture, the people, with their street markets and crazy fare, the daily routine...(not working?!...hmmm)I love it.  When we walked into the apartment and collapsed on the bed in exhaustion, it was bittersweet. Sure we missed our animals, our family, our friends....but there was also the startling recognition of knowing we were home. For right now... For the next couple years?....I'm OK with that.

                         

And a great time was had by all..........
