Home

Nebraska, the good life!  We are a hours away from heading out on a week long visit with family and friends.  I always look forward to going home.  It's like that big comfy chair waiting for you at the end of a long hard day.  There is NOTHING like being outside in that sweet Nebraska air.  It has a mix of corn, milo, and on a lucky day a hint of rain.  Nebraska is soul washing for me.  It helps me de clutter my life, my mind, myself.  There is no place on earth that makes me feel this way.  A lot of this is because my family is there.  Both my family and my military family.  We get to not just enjoy parents, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, but I also get to enjoy and soak up  life long friends, who have been through war with us....real war.  Who have felt the same worries of safety for their husbands.  We've called each other on those days where we just don't know if we can handle one more second.  We've made extra dinner knowing that this meal there will be a few more around the table.  Because a husband has left today on a plane, and his family doesn't want to be alone tonight.  So....I am so ready to go get my soul washed.
