We are home.

We got back from our trip yesterday. I'm back to work today and loving it. I really missed the girls! It's wonderful to have a job where you get loved and hugged on all day!! :)

I had a great time in Oklahoma catching up with family and just feeling all that love there. We got a van by chance from the rental agency so I was able to bring back my cedar chest full of things from my childhood and I got a very special surprise from my dad! He gave me a violin that has been passed down for 6 generations I believe now maybe 7. The date on it is 1716. I have been wanting it and was surprised he gave it to me. I am hoping to have it restored and learn to play. I also was given a pressure cooker by my sister and brother-in-law. I can't wait to try it out and do some canning this summer!!!

The best gift was definitely the time I got to spend with precious family and friends. That is something that cannot be restored or replaced. It's priceless and treasured. Memories I made this visit will carry on for many lifetimes.
