Home again, home again, jigidy jig…

     Today was my first day back home and also my first day back at church.  It was really fun and pretty exciting.  Everyone was really stunned because I straightened my hair so when they saw me, most had to do a double take.  =)  I got to see people that I didn’t even know I’d missed until I saw them.  It was really pretty awesome. 
     I’m enjoying being back in a family setting, where people can read you even when you really are trying hard to hide it (yes, bon bons, you guys are getting better at that…but I think my sisters will always have you beat… and that really isn’t a bad thing).  It is good to be able to be in a church where you know people love you and are waiting for you when you leave.  It was good to hear from people, who have watched me grow up, that they are excited about me being a doctor.  Especailly, from a doctor himself.  It was reassuring and encouraging.  
     And tonight was just as fun as always, if not more so.  This time when I walked into YWC I felt like I wasn’t out of place…I felt like I actually should be there.  I felt accepted again, something I haven’t felt for like 2 years (At least not at YWC).  And though this is really okay, it is hard to let go of something that you, in a sense, helped create.  So the healing continues….funny thing is that people don’t even know they are part of the healing process.  =)  That’s okay, may they be blessed emensely anyways. 

I’ve talked enough for now…I’m exhausted and I have to be somewhat awake tomorrow.  I love you ALL!
