Any Tom Petty fans out there? I have always loved this song. And man, can I identify with it's chorus.
We arrived in the States 2 days ago. I am just relishing everything. Driving my car. Listening to my favorite radio stations. Shopping and more shopping. Seeing my family and friends. Going to Wal-Mart for the first time in almost a year was amazing for both me and W. I am seeing everything through fresh eyes.
In the last year, I have seen amazing places. Biblical ruins. Charming German villages. The stunning Austrian Alps. But nothing is so beautiful as my home.
July 4th is tomorrow. I can't think of it coming at a better time for me personally. I am so in love with my country right now-everything about it. I know this place isn't perfect. I know that in a few weeks the newness will fade. But right now, I am so grateful to celebrate the USA while actually being in the USA.
Happy 4th everyone!!
