HOME

I am almost to my home! It was a long and all too eventful trip to California, but I finally made it. I was able to stay the weekend in Loma Linda for Ali's graduation! It was a very happy weekend. Today I am flying back to Oklahoma. I am missing Ebeye terribly. I keep talking about it and I can't stop. It's strange to be back. Normal life doesn't feel normal. Normal clothes don't look normal. And the things I thought I missed don't seem the same. I feel homesick for Ebeye. But I have so much to be happy about, too. I am thrilled to be home with my family and to see the people who have been so supportive while I've been away. I am so very blessed to have two homes and two loving families. I am praying that I will remain imprinted by my experience in Ebeye and continue to grow and be challenged as I have been the past five months. Ebeye holds a special place in my heart and I am forever changed by the tiny, overcrowded, beautiful, and loving island that is now my second home. I miss you, Ebeye.
