There's no other feeling of being home after being away for an extended period of time. Although, people adjust to being in their new environments over time, it is always a different feeling going back to your home. I love pulling into the driveway, and suddenly being welcomed with everything you've missed while away. From walking into the front door and suddenly being welcomed by your mother's embrace. To then walking up the stairs and smelling your mom's cooking in the oven. There's no better feeling of then sleeping in the comfort of your own bed, knowing you'll get the best night's sleep.

This is the house where you grew up in. Looking back to countless first day of school pictures on your front steps, family dinners every night in your designated spot at the table, and endless birthday parties. Your home is surrounded with memories of family gatherings, photos of those who have made an impact on your life. Once you think about it, your house has been the most loyal to you after all these years. Through both the good and the bad, it's provided you a comfort you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

You hear stories of people talking about how many times they've had to move, but I am fortunate to say that my family has lived in the same house for over 17 years. Although it wasn't the first home my parents brought me home to, the memories I remember the most are there. I couldn't thank my parents enough for providing my sisters and I a safe place to live, and grow up. These are the type of aspects I wish for my family in the future.

See you in December house!
