Home again, Home again...

Where is home again? They say it is where the heart is... so I suppose that means my home is not one place, because my heart is so many places!

But, my family lives here in Washington and this is where I spent my entire life up until I was that grown up 18 year old girl moving out into the great wide world with wanderlust in her eyes. So for the sake of clarity, I will call Washington my "home."

I've enjoyed being home... its been relaxing and refreshing. I have done a bit here and there, but really, I've done a LOT of resting and spending time with my wonderful parents. I guess I didn't realize how exhausted I was after doing the SBS.

Anyway, I have 12 more sleeps before heading to Kona, Hawaii, where I will be for 2 years... so I suppose that means it would be my "home" for that time. =)

Take care all and until next time!

Thailand Recap in Photos...



So.... Not much to say right now... just a bit jet lagged and still awake at 1:30 am... so... here's some photos from Thailand and a great big thank you to all who took the time to read my updates, pray for me, or even just look at the pictures. For more photos, check out facebook... I'll be adding more soon!

Cheers!
