I will always miss the Hill Country of Texas. I will always think a little longingly of the beauty of the place and the people I miss and just the "Texas"-ness of it all. It is an amazing place and one that will always hold a piece of my heart.
I don't know exactly what changed (or when) in my heart, but I have come to know that I have found a place to "put my home." I think, for me, home has become a state of being more than a location on a map. As long as I am seeing my kids grow and thrive, as long as I can serve, as long as I am around people I love, I can be "home." My kids are happy and thriving, there are always opportunities to serve and we can find love where ever we choose. So here I am. And, truly there is no place like home.

Thank you for your wonderful perspective! I was reminded of something very similar when we were able to take a few vacations recently... It's sometimes good to get away and remember that as long as you have each other, you are at home. The old adage, "Home is where you hang your hat" is true :)
I'm so glad that the kids are thriving, that's fantastic news. I'm so glad you blogged again, keep 'em coming!
Welcome Home!
We are very glad that your home is nearby ours for the time being!
I'm like you.. wanting to feel at home with each place we moved in the military... now that we've been here in Arizona for 5 years.. longest place we've lived anywhere.... it's home. My kids are happy here, I'm becoming to think the desert is beautiful :) Besides, where else can I be awakened to the sound of coyotes.. right in my back yard!
Thanks Anna, I need to work on my attitude ; )
