Home (is where we are)

We've been married for almost five years.  (And the crowd goes wild!)

And we've lived in 3 states in 5 years.  That's a lot of moving, folks.

I'm from Texas.  He's from Florida.  We met in Virginia.

In Pittsburgh, we enjoyed a vibrant seminary community.  We were very at home with our friends and community.  In Colorado, we felt alive in the mountains, enjoying the great outdoors and the love and warmth of our first church.  Now in our current home, we are thriving in our neighborhood and new friendships.

And we'll have to move again.  And again.  Which is hard for me.  I have to re-think the way I think of our lives.  Although we live in our home country, we are missionaries and will move to where we are called.  We will never have deep roots in one place, but we'll be together.

And the cliche, "home is where the heart is," has finally made sense to me.  Because my home will be where ever my loves are.
