Our Home.

I love looking at homes and rooms on Pinterest...but I have realized I really miss our house in California. Every picture I see that I like, I imagine a room in our house...redoing it, adding something...whether it's curtains, furniture, paint, rearranging, knocking out a wall. (I have always wanted to knock out the wall between the living room and dining room, only today, did Jason say he would let me.)

We want to go back to California, so bad. We miss our house, we miss our friends. (That's not to say we don't have great renters and great friends here....we just miss our home.)

We thought we would be fine leaving our new house, after all, we had only been in it for a little over a year...who makes a home out of a house when the whole family doesn't even live in it for the whole time? (Jason only spent 8 months in the house total, before we left.)

But we did. We made a house a home. Our home. We miss it. One day, hopefully sooner than later, we will return home.

I never considered California our home until we left. But it is. I never thought I would claim anywhere but Texas, home...but we made our life in California. We worked so hard to build our family, our life, our home...California is where our hearts are.
