Home Sweet Home

I made it safely back home. The drive was just as long as I remembered, but I enjoyed the beautiful views on 81 through Virginia. I have been going non-stop since before exams. Sometimes busy is good though.
I went to a surprise birthday party that gave me an unexpected opportunity to network. I haven't landed a job yet, but I am sure I will. Things have a way of working out on their own. I had a great time the next day visiting with family in Crewe where my mom grew up. I'll be 25 in a month, but I still belong at the children's table. Law school and all that has come with it has required me to grow up fast. So, in some ways a seat at the kiddie table is nice. It was also nice to have a real, home-cooked southern meal.
The last two days the family has been scrambling after discovering grandma fell and broke her foot and sprained her ankle. It's a reminder of just how fragile humans are.
Home is where the heart is. For me, my heart is here.
