We FINALLY made it home. It was a little ify there for a while when the sirens from the material godesses of San Antonio and Galveston where calling Steve through the window of our 'tan man van'. We have stayed at so many hotels that hotels.com not only gave us a free stay but a $20 credit for the next one as well. The free stay seems to be burning a hole in Steve's travel pocket. The kids were super happy to see our cat, Molly, again. They promptly got out of the car, set things up around the house, and played 'tour guide' taking Molly around the house and telling her funny little tidbits around each artifact. Molly happily complied following each tour guide around meowing her story around the house. Apparently both tour guide and cat had a lot to say.
My favorite part of coming home is cleaning everything. I don't know why, but there is just something rich about cleaning 11 states out of the kids blankets and stuffed animals. Mimi by far suffered the most abuse. Like the freshly cleaned blankets, I too am freed from the burden I've been carrying so long. I've come home with a new resolve. I realized that although my life is not going the way I've planned it on the outside, my true life is on the inside. It's all about walking with God and glorifying Him......and the rest is just cookie crumbs!
