Home is where the Heart is...

Finally!  It's been a while since I've posted, and I've had 1,000 topics to write about and I've had 1,000 things to do that seem like they keep me from having the time to post.  I'll write more about those later...

The other day, I was driving down the road when my cell phone rang.  When I looked at the caller ID it said "Home."  I knew then it was my Mom or Dad.  Then it dawned on me...I still have my parents in my phone as "Home," even though I've been married for almost a year. 

I guess I haven't changed it because Darrell and I don't have a home phone.  We use our cell phones.  I was just thinking about how ironic it was as I drove.  Then I thought, if I were to change it, what would I call them?  I have each of their cell phone numbers saved in my phone as "Mom" and "Dad", and then their house number.  I couldn't think of any other name I would call them. 

I decided then that I would keep them in my phone as "Home" because that has always been my home.  Of course, my home with Darrell is MY home.  Now, I am lucky enough to have more than one home.  Darrell and I are blessed to be close with all of our family, and we consider all of their houses to be just another one of our homes. 

No matter where I am, I always have a home. 
After all, home is where the heart is...<3
