Family ♥

Its been quite awhile since my last post, I apologize for that. I've just recently gotten back from a wonderful week in Texas with my family. During this week, I was reminded about the value of family, the closeness they bring, the laughter you can share, and the love that is undeniably strong. When you are states away from each other these things can be forgotten, but the moment you meet again, things are back to where they were like time hadn't passed and your lives hadn't drastically changed. During this week, I found a peace I've been searching for. A refreshing feeling if you will, something I couldn't find here. I can only hope our time apart won't be 2 years like it has been in the past because I've realized family is everything to me. I love y'all (thought it was only appropriate ;) given the circumstances). Though leaving was terribly hard, my life back here in Oregon is in full swing. I'm ready for new experiences and some old ones reappearing. I'm a very happy girl at this moment. Life is wonderful and I am all smiles. :)
