Tuesday's track meet

The track meet four days ago was a home meet, and it was our big invitational.  It is always my favorite meet of the year because our former school district is always there as well.  Andrew was disappointed he had to work that evening at his night class.  Thomas volunteered in the concession stand, but I was free to roam around.  I was able to see so many familiar faces, although some of the faces have changed so much in the years I didn't recognize them!  I was able to get some hugs and even meet up with the mom of Thomas's best friend.  We watched her daughter win the pole vault and tie the meet record before coming home.  As I was telling Andrew about it, he also became nostalgic.  Neither of us have ever regretted this move, and I have always known this is the best place for our family...there are so many good things that came from this move and I am proud to be in school where Andrew teaches.  At the same time, even after 4-1/2 years, this place doesn't feel like "home", and the place that does will always hold a special place in our heart.
