Home

I just wrote a quick post on my adventure blog (liz's great adventure 2013) titled the same thing: home.

When I was in MN this last week, I overheard my mom telling someone that Colorado is really my home now. MN will always be where I was born and grew up. It will always be an important place for me where a home of mine is b/c my family is there. My parents, my brother & sister-in-law, grandma, aunts & uncles, cousins, etc. I have good friends there. It is a part of my history and my story. MN is a wonderful place that I love to visit and I will probably live there again one day in a very long time from now. :)

My mom is right though - Colorado is home for me in this season of life. I am so grateful to live in a place where the sun shines over 300 days a year. Where there are majestic mountains that I get to look at everyday. Where I live with amazing people who I get to walk life with, even when they aren't actually at home. :) I have an amazing dog - TEVA! - who isn't really my dog - but she lives in the house I live in and pretty soon I will be taking care of her - so let's just pretend she is my dog. I have an amazing church family here. Even though I don't work at CCPC anymore I am still going there b/c its family and home. SO much joy going back this morning after two months of being away. So looking forward to reconnecting with everyone.

Anyway - I'm home. At peace. Full. Grateful.
