We made it back home to Provo very early this morning after leaving ahead of schedule due to Jenny's extra-speedy-awesome packing. We rolled up to our place about 1:30 in the morning and discovered than Nicole (with, we suspect, a little help from her Mom and Dad) had left the place looking pretty much awesome.
It only took a few moments to realize that it felt different than the place we had left. My epiphany this early morning is that though we really had become comfortable at our place in Las Vegas, that is not the same as feeling a sense of belonging which (I hypothesize) only comes from being a long-term member of a community. We loved our time in Las Vegas, and I am certainly not saying that we will never "belong" anywhere else, but for right now it is very clear to both of us that we are, in fact, home.

Welcome Back.. I know the feeling.. We Joe and I came back from California I felt a long lost peace come over me once we got settled in our home.. There was so many things I had missed about Utah.. I like rain in the summer.. The autumn leaves.. And the first snow,fall..and yes even driving at night in the snow.. I love how it flies into the light and goes up and over the windshield..
