An Evening on the Water

I love this new city we call home.

After two years, it is beginning to feel that way.

I love the miles of trails we hike.

I love the water and the wildlife.

I love the architecture and beauty everywhere I look.

But most of all, I love that we are an easy drive for the people we love to come see us, both from our life on the plains and our life on the island.

Because when it all comes down, it really is all about the people who make up the scenery of our lives. The ones we love and the ones who have loved us back.

The ones who bring memories and laughs, flickers of home with them.

Home, in its many locations, many forms.

Our home in each other's hearts.

  6. It is a wonderful city with much to enjoy. Nice photos. Great family outing!

    It took me a while to call this city home as well...as it's over 1,100 miles south from where I grew up. I'm at home now! =)

  7. Well stated. I agree. "It really is all about the people who make up the scenery of our lives. The ones we love and the ones who have loved us back."

  9. Those are great pictures. Moving to a new city is so hard. I'm glad that you are feeling at home in your new area. I have been following your blog for awhile and I have nominated you for a blog award. Go over to my blog at I Luv Fireflys and retrieve it. I am grateful for your stories.

  12. I enjoyed reading your thoughts and seeing the beautiful and happy images you shared.

    When we moved to my husband's hometown, I was not impressed at first. But, I've always said, it's not where you're at but who you're with that matters (more eloquently said at times).
