Back in the Atl.


Its late thursday night, and Im home. Back in Atlanta at my dad's house in Kennesaw. Lying on my bed with my favorite dog in the world, Kender, I love her. Im so happy to be here I dont even want to go to sleep because then its one less day.

I missed my little sister Aubrey alot more than I realized. I came up the escaltor at the airport and when I laid eyes on my dad and sister they waved and I hustled over. I hugged her for a long time and almost cried because I missed having her smiling face around. I really hope she moves to Chicago for college one day.


Tonight when we got home I saw the new truck and travel trailer for my dad and I's big trip out west this summer. We are driving from Atl out to Jackson Hole Wyoming! Through alot of states where we will camp, rock climb, hike, white water raft, and ride my dad's Harley that we are bringing with us. And the dogs are coming of course.
Just my dad and I, and its going to be wonderful.


So for now, Im just going to enjoy my time home. Luckily I get to see some close friends also, which Im thrilled about, because its been so long.

Oh also, on the plane ride coming to Atl from Chicago I was re-reading a book and I remembered how much my heart is invested in loving people and letting that be the determination of success, rather than numbers or greatness. As Mother Teresa used to say 'We can do no great things, just small things with great love. It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into doing it.'
A very wise woman, who truly knew what it meant to love others.


Goodnight moon.
