Whew! After more than 2 weeks on the road, I am finally HOME! Grady comes home this evening, and we are so looking forward to being home together with the kitties!
It's interesting - Grady and I both LOVE to travel. We thoroughly enjoy living in hotels and out of suitcases! We thrive on trying new beds and towels and exploring behind the closed doors of hotel meeting and ballrooms. Comparing the Executive Lounge offerings and the free hot breakfasts from each, and the room views, of course! Checking out the swimming pool and hopefully, the hot tub, and maybe hitting the gym, are things we look forward to!
But after about a week on the road, we begin to get weary. The excitement of bringing up all the bags, even on the bellhops dolly, soon becomes cumbersome, and expensive if the bellhop is helping. Repacking the bags and the car each morning - even every other morning, turns into a chore. And while we are still enjoying each new place to explore, and the familiarity of the hotels we have been to before, we long for the routine of our home, for the familiar smell of our favorite coffee brewing in the morning, the comfort of our cushy couch with the kitties snuggled up next to us.
I'm continuously amazed at how we can both love the change and adventure, and long for the familiar after such a short time. I am so thankful that we have such a comfortable place to return to! We are unbelievably blessed, and thank God every day for what he is doing is our lives!
