We're Home!

Or so we think... it is the right address, it just doesn't look like home AT ALL! You can't really walk through any room without tripping on a box, a suitcase, a pile of something, or the toys my daughter keeps scattering through the floor of the whole apartment. We came home at 2 a.m. yesterday, landed in the middle of an awful snow storm and then drove home through roads covered in drifted snow that literally reached the bumper of our van. It took us over an hour an a half to reach home. We hit the ground running as we went to church yesterday morning, have an empty fridge and empty cupboards and don't seem to have time to shop for groceries today since Ben had to go to the office after being absent for three weeks, we have a doctor's appointment to make sure all is going well with baby number two and then we have a board meeting at church! But we are home... happy to be here and sad to have left Guatemala. But as we left church yesterday and I thought about the welcome we received from our church family I realized how blessed we are and how undeserving we feel! We are appreciated, loved and missed in two places that are very different from each other! Even though we landed in Albany at 11.45 p.m. and there was a snow storm we were greeted at the airport by these friends. We came home to learn of other friends who wanted to come meet us but couldn't make it under the circumstances. Then we were greeted at church by so many who told us how much we were missed! It wouldn't be fair if I didn't say that I do love my New York people too! It is good to be home, it is good to be loved and we are loved in two different places of the map... What else could we ask for?
