I'M HOME!

| mtv, ohio! |
Welcome to good old Mount Vernon, Ohio (: This is the first and only place that's ever
really been home to me, and now that I only live a couple hours away, it's again becoming a more frequent check-in for weekend plans. Sydni and I loaded up this morning and headed off to Nana & Pappy's for a day celebrating Dad's birthday.

| best. roadtrip buddy. ever! |
We pulled up to the house, and almost immediately, I felt the stress of a long week and the disappointment of Rob not being able to join us slightly subside. This house will never disappoint me. There's a Miranda Lambert song [
House That Built Me] that is beyond appropriate and applicable when it comes to me and this house..

| home. |
"Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom.. is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar... And I bet you didn't know, that under that live oak, my favorite dog is buried in the yard" - Miranda Lambert, 'House That Built Me'
*Sigh. Being home, in
this house, is one of the most relaxing things I think I'll ever know in this world. This is the house my parents
built, from the ground up. I grew up in this house, and for every line of that Miranda song, I truly do believe this house built me more than I ever built anything around this house.

| i can never get enough of this place! back deck sittin'.... (: |
Sydni and I took a nice mid-morning/early afternoon nap before the family started showing up; we spent the afternoon together catching up, playing games and of course celebrating Dad's birthday weekend. To say I love my family is an understatement.

hangtime with sydni!♥♥ |
So uhhh,
yeah! We were also supposed to make an appearance at the Dan Emmett festival downtown Mt.V tonight, but we hadn't anticipated the family staying as late as they did. It worked out just as well, because if I'm being honest, I have very little interest in seeing the Osmonds. Sorry. I'm sure it would've been fun with the family and such, but I'll take my family over that any night.
Tomorrow is more of this, before I head home again.
*Yawn..
