I miss home...


I know "home is where the heart is." But my heart is always with family. So my heart is torn into pieces thrown across Texas & Oklahoma. The home I am referring to right now is Altus. I miss my grandpa & Katie & all of my family. I miss the kids...I want Bish to get to play with his cousins. I miss the farm, I miss the house, I miss my favorite restaurants....I just miss home. I miss it all SO much more than I ever did because it makes me feel close to my Mama. I miss her...part of my heart is with her & I feel better in her house:). We will be there soon enough to meet a new member of the family...I just had a moment today where I longed so much to be there. I was driving down a country road with the windows down (because the weather was FABULOUS again...PRAISE GOD!!) & I just wanted to be on familiar country roads.
The picture was taken at our farm almost two years ago...and yes, we are REDNECKS:)!
And proud of it....:)

When we lived in Vegas a part of me was always longing for Texas...especially Silverton at Grannie's. There is just something about the rural part of us...

Shana we miss you and wish you guys could be here more. I know Braden and Bishop would love it if they could play together all the time. I guess I take it for granted that I am always home and I never have to miss most of my family because we are all right here. But we will see you soon and if you want when you come if I am not in OKC I will take pics of the kids for you:)

I don't really have a "home" that I miss. My family moved around too much. But I do miss my Grannie's house. It always had a very specific smell (a good one) and when I'm looking at old pictures, I can still imagine myself being there!
