My recent trip to Utah brought to mind and heart many thoughts and emotions about the word "home." Sometimes I use it to refer to Utah, other times to St. Louis. After much pondering, here is what I have come up with.
Ogden - my first home; my first family; my childhood memories; playmates (for me and my girls); fun; adopted families; mountains; Home.
Logan - my second home; my second family; dear friends (many still there, others across the country) ; college memories; 10 years of memories with AT; laughter; majestic beauty; open spaces; peace; Home.
St. Louis - my current home; new friends; new experiences; new everything - well, almost; fun; adventure; growth; Ahenobarbus; Beemer; Audi; Home.
While a part of my heart is in each of these locations, "Home," I've discovered, is where my husband and girls are. No matter where that is.

Amen, and Amen. Love you.
Couldn't agree more. Miss you all!
I love this post and I know exactly how you feel! I remember being so homesick for Utah, for family and friends out there. It took me a while to come to the same realization that you did: that home is where YOUR family is. Gotta love it. :)
I totally agree! Even when we're out of town, "home" has even become the hotel room. :) I'm so glad you had a great trip!!!
What a great post!
