As you probably guessed, we are home in IA! We had an incredible homecoming from Kelli and Marcus who were riding their bikes up and down our street waiting for our arrival. Our lawn was imacculate and there were balloons, signs and a tribute in each room welcoming us home. Not to mention the house had been cleaned from top to bottom! Thank you to Marcus & Kelli!
The neatest thing about coming home is that once our house was in sight, it dawned on me that not once while we were so homesick did I think about our house. Don't get me wrong, it was great to finally sleep in our own bed and be in our house, but that is not what I was homesick for. We were homesick for our family, friends, church and community. That is what home is - relationships! How awesome!
The last few days have been good. We are still adjusting and feel so blessed. If you haven't had a chance to meet Isaiah, please let us know if you want to stop by. We will post some more pics in the next few days!
