Today my heart was made whole again as my little boy returned home. The five days he was gone were very long and empty and yet very short and full at the same time. So much happened that was good and some that was bad. I'm hoping we can do this again next year (maybe not for quite as long a time though).
2.0 left Tuesday. Nate and I went to see a movie. Wednesday we went out for dinner and sat talking for two hours over Chinese food. We discovered each other again. Of course then we had to have a disagreement and it made Thursday a little hard. I think we were both freaking out over the fact that I was leaving Friday for Des Moines. But we got our act together by the time I left.
Friday and Saturday were magical for me. I got to bond with my Christian sisters and get some insight into living life more fully. I loved every second of it and I can't wait to go back next year. When I got home yesterday evening, I was able to share that with my husband and again we talked until after midnight.
Then today, in the middle of a heavy rain, my son came home.
And of course, the one person he was the most excited to see was the dog.
It's so nice to have everyone home again. :)
