The most beautiful place in the world to me is home :)

Mike & I stepped off the plane, after travelling 22 hours, into heaven on earth :> We were so excited and nervous with huge grins on our faces. We got in to the airport and found my mom & Mike's parents waiting for us. Instant tears :( but they felt nice. I did well until I saw the tears in my mom's eyes, then lost it.

As we left the terminal, all I could do was stand there, looking at the setting sun and smelling the fresh evergreen scented air. I don't think I'll forget that moment as long as I live. New Brunswick is my home...everywhere else can be lovely and special to visit, but my first and only love is here :)

We spent the rest of the evening at Mike's parents home drinking tea and catching up. We were so buzzed from our arrival, that even though we'd been awake so long, we felt ready for anything. That night, Mike & I went for a short drive to see a bit of Saint John. Some things are drastically different, some things haven't changed at all in my 10 months away.

On my first full day back, I spent the morning with my mom at her house. We chatted, I ate strawberries, toured the garden, I ate more strawberries, played crib (Mom beat me, but not by much) and I ate even more strawberries. Lol! I ended up eating three large bowls of berries :>





Still feeling a bit unwell from the plane ride, I went back to Mike's parents' place and crashed...for the entire afternoon! They woke me up when it was time for supper. I had some cauliflower! and broccoli! and salad! ...then fell asleep at the table, lol! Then I crawled back in bed and I don't remember the rest of the day. I vaguely remember taking this picture of the full moon...
