I think I am ripping this off some country song, but I don’t really care. I am extremely happy today, Jason came home yesterday after being away for work for a while. It is strange getting use to this I guess him being away, and going here and there all over the place no matter where we go though as long as we are together it feels like home. When I was growing up I always hated having to move from place to place, from Atlanta where I grew up and had many childhood memories to Pittsburgh. From there, we moved to Southern Maryland to be closer to family and father opened up his own law practice. After moving to Maryland I became so used to packing up, moving again, and realized that with family it doesn’t matter what happens where you go, as long as you have each other. As I adapt to this lifestyle with Jason, I now start to remember those days of endless driving and moving from new places and meet new people as I was younger. It is slightly different when you are an adult, instead of sitting in a classroom I get to work. Instead of playing on the playground I get to sit in traffic. There are many similar challenges, and many similar benefits. I have an amazing family who loves and supports me no matter what. And the best part is, I can visit them within just a few short hours. I have a wonderful fiancee who I absolutely adore. The challenges are there, having to establish new connections, meet new people in an unfamiliar town, finding a job (which I did! check!!), and passing the hours when Jason is away. I miss him terribly when he is gone, for now he will be home and I will enjoy every minute of it. Here is my new home with him, my new family with Jason and Bailey. It has been somewhat difficult as I learn how to adjust, how to make this my life, how to make it home. I know that I have always wanted a home of own, and there are times in my life where I have seen things physically or geographically as temporary. I know in my heart with him, and with his life this is my life too now. This place or wherever we go, with us, is permanent. This commitment to each other is a home that I am not willing to leave. So he comes and goes, I will always be here waiting for you…here in this home in my heart.

I love reading your posts! :)
I remember, in Atlanta, is where my family met you all.
And I understand exactly how you feel about moving etc.
With us, it was a bit easier because we had children so that helped us connect with people.
But moving across the seas (from Australia to Atlanta) was the BEST thing we ever did.
I remember being worried about moving somewhere where I knew no one.
I knew Adrian would be fine…he had work.
And the kids would be fine…kids always make friends easily.
But me???
Well, I was fine.
More than fine!!!
The VERY first morning after flying across the world with four children under 4 years of age, we met your mother!
Seriously, she was a God send!
Whenever I think of her, I smile.
She was a whirlwind of positive energy and love……the same with the rest of you. We have videos (now DVDs) of you and Alexa dancing around like fairies. You both looked so angelic.And then, a couple of years later, your brother (so small then!!!!! )
One thing I made sure when we moved was to always have a few favourite things that we loved and would make our new house a home.
It might be silly things….a favourite painting, or Christmas ornament or placemats. Anything you love!
And new friends are the BEST thing to collect!!!!

Dear Sharon,
Thank you for that such a sweet memory of our family, back in the day. I remember bits and pieces about Atlanta. One thing that I vividly remember were how amazing your family was as well. All the Ashworths are doing well, and we hope to catch each other on your next visit stateside! Thanks for continuing to support me and the blogging!
