Home Is Where Your Heart Is

Home is where the heart is. That statement is so true. You know, I always thought that you could really only have one place that you call home, but I'm starting to see that your heart can actually be in more than one place. Jeremy's mom was even telling me this past week about a time when she felt as though she had two homes that were very far apart. Louisville will always feel like home for me, but Wentzville is beginning to feel like home as well. And, of course, ultimately, I have a third home with my Savior. I guess you can really have as many homes as your heart can fit......and I feel like mine is growing. Here are some pictures from our two homes here in this ever-changing world of ours.
I was so happy to visit Memaw and Pepaw. Pepaw had an edible arrangement sent to Memaw for Valentine's Day. It was very pretty and tasty!


The day we arrived in Louisville there was a snow/ice storm. So Allison decided to build a snow monster. Cute, huh?
Me and Melissa goofing off as normal.
My parents bought us a grill as a house-warming gift. Dad and Jeremy put it together when they came to visit us in January.
Melissa and I were helping Jeremy and Dad put together the grill.

This is our church building.

This is the sign for our church. What a blessing God has given us with our new church family! More pictures are soon to come.

I have several comments: first the serious ones -- I have been praying hard that Wentzville will feel like home to you. I'm so glad that is happening. We LOVED seeing you and are counting the days until we come to your new home AGAIN in April! Secondly the silly one -- only Allison would be in the snow barefoot. She is a mess! HA HA

Love you bunches,
Sandy

Bear,

Loved seeing your pics and enjoyed reading about your new home and your old home in Louisville. It is true, home is where your heart is. It took me a while, but I now feel like Roanoke is my homes as well. I miss my family in Louisville, but I don't miss the city. Roanoke is so much cleaner and the mountains are so beautiful!! Well, I could go on and on, but I won't! I am so glad you are settling in. I have been praying for that as well as good christian girlfriends for you. I hope you are making a lot of new friends. Can't wait to see you in March!!! All my love, Mom
