So long . . .

It's almost midnight, the movers are coming first thing in the morning, our house is a disaster, my eye is twitching because I am so tired (I even forgot to call my son to tell him goodnight!), Lily is hovering anxiously by my leg and Mark is rummaging around and I am . . . blogging of course.

It really does feel like we are going home. And I'm hoping we will stay there for a while. I have enjoyed our 7 years "abroad" and feel like I have learned so much about my self and grown as a person. Mark and I have gotten to go and see and experience so much and for that, I am thankful. But mostly, I am thankful for Finn and if I had to be in Jersey to get him, then it was worth every minute. Moving to Charleston feels like a new beginning and beginnings mean that there were endings and I will miss all of the wonderful friends I have made along the way (and can't wait for them to visit!).

I felt inspired one afternoon, which means it must have been the one afternoon Finn slept longer than usual. I put together a slide show of some of my favorite memories in DC. What a cool city and I'm so happy I got to live here, even for a short while. I'll warn you--it's long, so don't feel like you have to watch the whole thing, or even part of it. I just wanted something to remember our experiences here and this about does it.

See you in Charleston!
