Your quote beneath the picture is so perfectly apt. xo
ReplyDeleteMy reunion with my Rainbows every spring is such a special moment.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! I've been finding that home is when I'm with the people I love most.

I love this so much! Welcome back! And definitely number one on this list for me is the Mexican food. Even Utah has pretty crappy Mexican food, so any time I can get to Arizona or California, it is all Mexican all day.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I feel ya on the sushi thing! Also, google maps has saved my life so many times but I'm definitely happier when I don't have to rely on a GPS the whole time haha. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much..I want to make my own list now!
ReplyDeleteAll of these are so true (especialy about when your phone remembers the wifi ha!)

I'm totally missing living beside a sushi place. And wish I had a Target nearby. Sighhhh..

That quote is perfect. Absolutely perfect. As someone who's traveled for school and now lives 3,000 miles away from my childhood home, it's true the places and people don't really change--the traveler changes. It makes everything seem wonderfully familiar and foreign all at once.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank the good Lord for wifi and 3G taking over, right? ;]
cheers to coming home!! now go get some good mexican food !!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the states! My passion is traveling, but there really is no place like home :)
ReplyDeleteFor me it's sunshine, my mum's home baking and the terrible kiwi accent!!
