something's different

our recent trip to arizona was much too brief. and completely different than every other visit in so many ways.

• we stayed in a hotel
• we rented a car
• we didn't eat at taco bell
• we didn't buy any coach purses
  

this was our first time back since daddy died, and mikie's "welcome home" text when our plane landed in arizona made me cry. this time it doesn't feel like home.

the drive to sedona was beautiful. the wedding was lots of fun. seeing family is always wonderful. but now we're just visiting.

love you and miss you all.
