home is where the heart is

my sister and i went to visit our parents in maryland last weekend. as i grow older i can't help but realize how fast time is flying, and the number of times that our immediately family is all together probably amounts to maybe 4-5 a year.

being at the house made me so nostalgic.
there's a lot of love in that house, that's the way it's always been.

& everything is just so
comfortable
there.

home cooked meals at the dinner table, catching up with the parents
lounging on the patio, strolling through the backyard
nights in with my sister
having my best friend and boyfriend come over just to hang out
g o o d c o m p a n y, g o o d t i m e s.

it was a perfect weekend, despite the hurricane (if anything, it was a blessing that we were all together during it).

maryland is where my heart is, but i do think that it's now attributed mostly to the fact that my parents are there.

i've lived in the city for the past 7 years, and i think it's fair to say that this city holds a huge piece of my heart as well.

wonder what city will be next..

as much as i love this city, i know it won't be for me forever
