Home Sweet Home!


Idaho is my home now, but Virginia will always be home to me too. I had the opportunity to visit there for Spring Break with Donevan and all the kids. It was so wonderful. We had such a fun time. We went to celebrate my amazing father's 70th birthday.

I love visiting home. The smells, the streets, the restaurants, the traffic, the malls,the schools, the friends, and family....they all bring back memories of my childhood. I had an amazing childhood....not a care in the world as the youngest child of 5. I was everyones little sister and a daddy's girl for sure! I feel lucky to have lived in the same house my entire childhood until the day I left for college. And I feel lucky to be able to return to that same home when I get to visit my parents now. There are so many memories and fun times within the walls of that home and they all come flooding back everytime I enter it.

Now, returning with 5 children of my own into the home I grew up in means the world to me. I love that my own children are able to have a glimpse of my childhood! I hope I can make theirs as wonderful as my own!!!
