It felt like going home

Last week I had to take both Catherine and Thomas back to our former town for a doctor appointment.  We were ridiculously early.  I tend to be an overplanner, and I had a very scheduled day so I we got into town unbelievably early.  It is a 45 minute drive, and I just never know how long it is going to take.  Anyway, we were so early that I didn't want to go into the office just yet because I knew there was no way they were going to be ready for us.  We decided to take a quick jaunt around town and specifically wanted to drive past our old house.  While I loved that house, I don't miss it.  The house we live in now is so much better for us and it honestly feels like a dream come true.  Regardless, we drove past the house and the kids commented on a couple of changes they noticed.  I think Thomas misses the house a bit, and I know that we all miss that town.  As we were driving around town, I couldn't get over just how much it felt like we were "home".  It's different there, and I can't explain it.  Andrew has always said after the kids graduates he wants to move back there, and maybe we will.  It will always be a special place to me.
