Home

Here I am, in the middle of Nevada. Headed home to California. Still sounds weird to me. Home to California.

One year ago, this week, we were heading out on the biggest adventure of our lives. Leaving Colorado was a heartbreaker. It was a difficult decision, but Doug felt confident that it was the right one. 

So, we left home. The home we built with  our own sweat and tears. The only home Luke ever knew. The home we loved. We packed up all that love and 12 years of memories, and took them with us to California. 

It leaves me contemplating the word "home".  Is home where you were raised? Is home where you lived the longest? The place you loved the most? Or is it where you currently live? I suppose it could be all of those things. 

After 2 weeks of visiting our old house, catching up with friends, taking in all the familiar views and spending time with family, I'm ready to go home. 

Home to California.
