Back Home
We're home again. Travel back to SD was really good - no hiccups along the way, and both children were really quite well behaved. Jackson slept on both flights again, and Geo, though a little bored, behaved beautifully for a four year old.
This is the first time I've "come home" to South Dakota. I've now lived here since mid-August. It was really a strange feeling to get off the plane in Sioux Falls and drive to our town. Home has been redefined, certainly, but I'm not sure I'm used to the whole thing. This could be influenced by the fact that I was most recently at my childhood home and also at my "other" house - the one from which we just moved but still own since it hasn't sold yet. An odd feeling; not one of regret or anything, just strange and not entirely comfortable just yet.
I'd post pictures but neither of my CD-ROM drives seem to be cooperating today.

My mom moved right when I graduated high school, and after that, the meaning of 'home' was never the same, because what was my home was replaced by new places my parents lived, but never including dorms. Now, 'home' is a whole new word.
I'm planning a trip to SD this summer, do the NP tour (Badlands/Rushmore/Wind Cave/Devils Tower)... anything less famous I shouldn't miss?
Sorry about the CD-ROM drives, but it's good just to read a post from you, photos or not.
I have moved so much in my life that just the thought of moving again is unsettling.
~~Blessings 'n Cheers
@Matt - you could swing by and see us in Brookings. We're totally less famous! Actually, I don't know what to tell you to go see. I just got here myself and haven't explored much....
One could totally pass an the Wall Drug experience and be tnone the worse for it. Just sayin'.
I hope it can come to feel like home for you. To root, one must stay in place.
