Since being a month gone to the East coast, it was great. We did , however, miss our friends and church family here. There is nothing like being at home with your own schedule, comfort of your bed, living out of your dresser/closet instead of suitcases, etc. :D
Don't get me wrong as we had a great time while gone, but there comes a point where you are like "It's time to go home".
The drive home was long and my first time driving the whole time by myself for 2 days. The trees along the way through Tennessee, N.C. were glorious in all the fall spendid color. God paints some beautiful colors on his fall canvas! :D
Since we had been sick, we decided to take it easy on the way home. I didn't have them do any schoolwork on the ride home. We did stay at 2 hotels that had pools, but unfortunately dd got sick one night and we didn't go.
Know what else, we went to our church on SONday and boy did we feel like we had been missed. It was wonderful to see everyone again! I sure have missed them all!
My pastor's wife was so sweet. She made me this wonderful cross-stitch to go on my wall along with a bookmark.
Do you ever feel like it is time to go home again after a long trip?
What finer thing are you celebrating this week? Come by and share it at Amy's Finer Things Friday!

just gotta say I was NOT ready to come home after our trip to the mountains! LOL!
But I know what you mean girl! I DO love my own bed, and my dresser! :)
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip! Still, I know what you mean about the comforts of home. Have a wonderful weekend.
What a special gift!
If I'm gone for more than 7 days I am totally homesick! But I envy you seeing all the beautiful fall colors on your drive :o)
Thanks for stopping by...
There is nothing better than coming home after a long road trip:-)
Hi, Sherry!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know you'd been there by leaving a comment. It's nice to "meet" someone with a lot of similarities. I even enjoy a lot of the same authors you do and one of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music!
Hope you'll drop by again. I know I'll be by here again.
Blessings,
Kayren
I love the bookmark!
Glad you made it home safely! It truly is a wonderful feeling to be back home after an extended time away!
So glad you had such a wonderful trip and that you made it home to your OWN BED safely. :)
What a beautiful cross stitch! Hope you guys are settling into routine again. My son is home and I am looking forward to our more normal routine...whatever that might be ;)
BTW, I meant to tell you this is one of my fav pics of your kids. It really captures their eyes. I just love it!
Take care my friend!
Hope you guys have a great week!
I know what you mean, Jelly Bean. =) I love to travel, but it always makes me long to be home. Glad you made it back safely.
