Home!

I am in NY! Wow! The last week and a half has been crazy, wonderfully crazy. Here is a short synopsis:

Sam rushed into my arms at the Syracuse Airport. We had a long moment where we wouldn't let go of each other. The news was there to capture it - Sam in mid-air, flying into my arms, me with a big smile.

Mom and Lisa were there to make the homecoming complete. Mom was decked out in red, white, and blue and Lisa just looked great.

We all went to the Dinosaur BBQ where I received a round of applause and a cold Sam Adams beer on the house. The ride to Cortland was refreshing to have lush green rolling hills go by the windows. It was good to be home...

I unpacked and repacked for a trip to Orange County, NY for my twenty year high school reunion. What a trip into the past that was! Not only did I reconnect with life in the United States but I also saw so many faces from so long ago. It was very cool and I had a lot more fun than I expected.

I am leaving for vacation with Sam - dad and daughter time to reconnect. We are heading to Myrtle Beach to play in the surf, ride the water slides, and get crazy for a few days.

I am glad to be home and facing all new kinds of stress - good stress; wedding plans, vacation, going back to work, arranging meeting times to pick up my daughter. Stress I can handle.

I will write again!
