Early Monday morning, we landed in Birmingham. I'll be honest, it was a little bittersweet. Being on vacation with Will was totally wonderful. Not only was Alaska beautiful, but getting to see my family in WA and CA was icing on the cake! It was harder to leave this time, than the last time I visited.
Maybe that's because I realized how different my CA life is from my Alabama life. Maybe it was because my grandma's memory is getting so much worse and I feel like I'm losing her and missing her last few months... it just felt like life there is changing, and I'm not there with it. It was sad for me. Tonight I was thinking about it all, and the phrase "They all have pieces of my heart out there" came to mind. Who I am in Alabama is a little different than back at home. Here, I'm 26 trying to fit in with mostly 40 year olds, and out there I'm 26 trying to fit in with the single free-spirits. I guess either place I'm working to fit in, I just wish it was easier to be two places at once, ya know? Or POSSIBLE..haha, not easier! Life here has taught me to value being a home-maker more, and has helped me and Will grow closer together. People here have loved me and taken me in, for which I'm very very thankful! But I still miss my CA job, family, and friends!
We went to Stephanie and Steven's wedding. It was beautiful! Wonderful weather, beautiful decor, and happy happy people! After our wedding, lots of people said that they could "really feel the love." I felt that way at theirs. God had it right when he created marriage. Yes, it does take work-- but what good thing doesn't? Purity is so beautiful. I'm so happy for them!!
was good to see you guys even though it wasn't long enough!
