For those of you who don't know yet... let me trace the steps of my last few days.
Sunday morning I hopped in the car and headed out. We drove through Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and into Virginia. Could not take it anymore, so after a bite to eat at FudRucker's, We stopped for a good noght's sleep in Harrisonburg, VA. Monday morning, we hit the road again. I found myself saying, "Still Virginia?" about a dozen times before we finally hit Tennessee, Georgia, then Sweet Home Alabama.
Arriving at my parents' house was a bundle of emotions for me. Seeing my mom and dad, but mostly just holding my kids and seeing the look on their faces was incredible. I am so thankful to be with them again. This time for good. I am overwhelmed. That is for sure. Everything in my life has changed all at once. It is a struggle, but will totally be worth it in the end.
For my family in Maine.... I miss you already. You have been the best group of friends I could ever ask for. Loving me even though I am crazy, supporting me through this decision, and sending me out in style. From the going away party, to the happy hour, to the final going away brunch you each said goodbye in your own way. I hope our hugs will last until I return.
this made me cry. I miss you and am happy you have found your way home. I can only imagine how happy you have made your kids. We're adults we understand, they are kids, they may not. Your a terrific mom and i hope we'll get to meet them some day!

Umm... Did you pick up any hot hitch-hickers along the way?? Just wondering ;) I MISS you so much already! Glad you got there safely. Oh, I hope you don't mind... Bucky is going to be my partner for the "couples skate" at happy wheels on Saturday. I have some big shoes (or should I say skates) to fill while you're out of town... I'll do my best to fill in for ya. =)
Love you boo!!

I am so happy to hear that you & your kids and back in each other's arms... Hopefully everything is working out so that ALL of your loves are together in one place again..

My life is best spent laughing. About the most ridiculous things. I look forward to adult time. I have found a new understanding, depth, and appreciation of love. For that- I am truly thankful.
