Last weekend I got to go home to Virginia. I took the red-eye out on Thursday night and got home Tuesday evening. I had such a great time! (so great that I forgot to take any pictures) I had to take a flight that stopped in Boston, then went on to DC. When I got off the plane the first thing I saw was a guy wearing salmon-pink shorts and a tucked in button-up blue shirt, how fitting. It felt good to be back on the East Coast! It was really nice to relax and see my family. I miss them a lot and wish Virginia wasn't 3,000 miles away. Nate didn't come with me because he had to stay back and take care of things at work, so that was the only downside - but at least I had something to look forward to when I got home!
Highlights of the trip included:
- My Dad picking me up from the airport and taking me to breakfast
- Talking and hanging out at the house with my Mom, Dad, and Wade (they are the funniest people I know and we love just sitting and talking!)
- Going to the outlet mall with my Mom and taking advantage of the 40% the entire store sales at J Crew and Banana
- Taking Wade to the driving range and getting slurpees
- Looking at all the beautiful greenery and trees I miss so much
- Eating dinner out on Saturday night at Cafe Sonne
- Playing cards (Spades, Pinochle, we love playing cards!)
- Going to church in my homeward
- Making a fabulous Sunday dinner with my Dad (he does the cooking in my family)
- Visiting with Sam and Erin who came up from Charlottesville on Sunday
- Playing dominos with the whole family
- Going back to the outlet mall with my Mom and Wade to return some pants - then helping Wade to pick out some clothes
- Watching girly movies with my Mom
- BBQing it up on Memorial Day
I loved being home! But I was happy to see Nate again - and really happy that I came home a washed/vacuumed car and spotless apartment. What a great husband! I will always be an East Coast girl, never a California girl. Even though there are no cool songs about Virginia girls. I already miss my family, but I least I have a family that is awesome enough to miss, right?

Hooray for Virginia girls! Laura and I would have LOVED to have run into you at the outlets. (We did run into the Mudricks though at Banana the other day :) I also enjoyed reading your blog about "the small and simple things". Crying gives me a headache too!
