Friends Make it Our Home

Hi! We're back!

We had a beautiful honeymoon and were so thrilled to relax completely. I'm currently in the process of uploading almost 1,000 photos to Flickr and then I'll share some with you.

We've been home since Tuesday. For five days now we've moved in slow motion and have been very reluctant to get back into our previous lives. You know the post-vacation funk? We're in it deep! But I think it's an important piece of the vacation experience. I actually like the pensive time after a vacation when I look at my life and think "do I really want this? Is this what my life is for?" We haven't yet unpacked. I've barely managed to do one load of laundry. We're not exactly thrilled to be back to the 9 to 5. We're even lukewarm on our apartment. Just today we finally went to the grocery store. But it's all good. We're in no hurry to get back to the grind.

What has been wonderful is reconnecting with friends. It has felt SO GOOD to feel the love of our friends and to share wedding and honeymoon stories with them. I can tell you this with certainty, we are loved here.

So while we look at our apartment with a critical eye and let the laundry pile up, I know we're home from the smiles from friends.
