Did I Ever Leave?

I'm experiencing the weird thing that happens when returning to a place where I lived for a long time...the feeling that I never really left. It's so crazy...obviously I have been gone from this area for more than 9 years, and A LOT has happened to and changed in me during that time. But driving around, everything feels so familiar. (Not to mention GREEN!!!) I am feeling incredibly nostalgic and wistful, ready to cry at the drop of a hat.

I drove by the places we lived from 1989-2001...so many memories. I went to the Little League field where Jake hit his first home run and remembered all the hours of baseball enjoyed there. And the sign with Jake's name on it is still hanging on the fence...he was part of the team that won the Division Championships in 2001. :)

I still don't know where we're going to land...it looks like we'll be subletting a place in The City for the month of May; that will be fun. I'll be looking for our "real" home during that time...the sooner I find it, the better! Because then I can relax and enjoy city life.

More to come as life unfolds.
