About 1 year ago, we first brought the boys with us to Georgia to visit the school they would be attending (and David would be teaching)this year. David had taught in Kentucky for 10 years and so basically Zachary had spent almost 9 years of his life in and out of that building. The first few--just visiting daddy and K-4 in elementary school. The boys were so overwhelmed the day we visited here at the size of the school and the prospects of making new friends.
Today was the program for the first graders. It was so sweet. I saw happiness written on the face of Samuel, so comfortable with his class and friends. Zachary burst in the door tonight after church, so excited to talk about the service, where the leader of Casting Crowns, Mark Hall, speaks. And David speaks often about what a privilege it is to get paid for what he loves to do.
Since I don't visit the school often, I still feel a sense of uncertainty when I walk through the doors. It is large and overwhleming! Today, however, walking through the halls, I recognize faces who recognize me and I realized this is becoming "home."

This is GREAT news! My uncle asked me this week if I would ever consider moving back to IN and I said, "I don't think so, this is home." Your post reminded me that many years ago, I would have said the same hting about IN. Home really is where your heart is. I am glad yours is finally feeling "home" in GA!
