Last weekend I had the opportunity to go HOME...for the first time in a long time! Working retail hours has it's pros and cons; one of the cons being that I don't often get 2 days off in a row. But, last weekend at 5:30 on Friday I headed to the house! There is just something about being at home that is so good. I have time to "recharge my batteries" and get away from the responsibilities I have in Greenville.
The memories, the friends, the restaurants, the ball games, the church, the school...all the stuff I did for 18+ years kind of comes swarming back when I'm at home.
I got to see my sister Kayla play in a volleyball tournament at Augusta Prep-a gym and school that I spent a good deal of time at while I went to Augusta Christian.
I also had the awesome opportunity to hang with my old High School Basketball Coach-a legend-and I will blog about him later, so stay tuned!
I was able to spend time with my family and just kind of chill.
And, I was able to see good friends and high school buddies that I haven't seen in a while.
So, all-in-all, it was a remarkable trip home that did not last long enough. I love North Augusta because of the history I have there, my family, and the fact that I grew up there. But...I don't live there anymore. I've grown up, pay my own bills, drive my own car, have my own credit card, and...live in Greenville. I now call Greenville my home-actually I refer to it as "home for now". I don't know if I ever want to stay in one place for long enough to consider it a home as we define it in America, but Greenville is great for now.
My weekend trip was great in North Augusta, but...it's always nice laying your head on your own pillow at night!

Yea, it is a great home, for now. That is until two years is up and you and your boy are getting a little place in the NYC and starting a whole new journey! Get ready
