it is a strange thing to come home. while yet on the journey, you cannot at all realize how strange it will be.


Returning home always results in that same odd feeling - relieved to be surrounded by the familiar and equally disappointed to leave the unfamiliar behind. Before I had even arrived home from New York, I was struck with this feeling.

I got in late last night and am just now starting to catch up with things. I can't wait to write about my experience in New York, and to catch up on what you have all been doing!

How was your weekend?

    Oh Shannon that happens to me all the time :)
    When I come back home after a weekend away I feel so bad when I have to unpack my luggage...and it feels weird being back home..

    this is so true. sometimes i feel like after venturing out i come home a slightly different person. every single time. it's like your experiences and the people you've met and things you've seen slowly shape you.
    love the blog, by the way!
