Also, recently I was doing housekeeping on Twitter and it suggested I follow you, which I definitely did before, and then somehow accidentally unfollowed you??? Anyway, sorry, and also hello!<br /><br />So excited for you to be in Texas. I can't imagine having two places so far apart from each other feel so equally like home. The bittersweetness of coming and going must be such a difficult way to bookend a trip. And the 3 weeks away from your guy, ugh, I know. David spent 3 months traveling to DC 4 days/week, and now we're looking at him leaving the country for a couple weeks (with us having like 9 days notice to mentally prepare for it!). Even when you're surrounded by home and loved ones, that separation from someone you spend every day with is hard.<br /><br />I hope that despite the difficult aspects of it, this trip is so much fun and gives you tons of happy memories with your people to cherish for years to come!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390697943483129220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-59594745580247127162017-05-15T10:20:49.859+10:002017-05-15T10:20:49.859+10:00I'm so excited for you getting to go home! You...I'm so excited for you getting to go home! You've been away for such a long time. I bet your family are so excited to see you! And you're so right about those people who try and those who don't. I've got some friends planning their trips out here already, which makes me so excited, and others I've barely heard from. I mean, I get it, but it does show you something doesn't it?Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-59911136351728761762017-05-14T06:40:36.583+10:002017-05-14T06:40:36.583+10:00I think you are both lucky to have two very differ...I think you are both lucky to have two very different places to call home, but being away from family has got to be so hard, especially when there are health concerns. I've only ever moved three hours away from my family so I can't imagine what you go through. And while I dream about picking up and moving away, now that we have kids I don't think it's something I'd ever be able to do.

I understand what you mean about leaving your fella behind. I would really miss KC if I spent that long or even a third of that away from him! I am happy that you get to see your family soon though, they will be so glad to see you and it will be a blast to catch up. It's nice that you are able to combo it with a trip to CA and wine country with your ladies! :) I can imagine that saying goodbye is super difficult. Enjoy it while you are there! :) And enjoy meeting each other!!

(that said... they opened a pappasito's next door to deaux's).<br /><br />anyway, i hope you enjoy the time traveling. :]jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-41114071734279450582017-05-12T06:02:09.040+10:002017-05-12T06:02:09.040+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148220405743339501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-91383883399574565962017-05-12T01:10:59.747+10:002017-05-12T01:10:59.747+10:00I think it'd be really rough living so far fro...I think it'd be really rough living so far from family... A different state is one thing but allll the way around the world is some serious distance. It sounds like you have a really fun, packed trip awaiting you in the states, though!

Like I said on Kristen's post, I am probably a horrible person because I feel like I get on better with certain family members when we're not in the same country and I'm always glad I get to leave again before they can start annoying me. I hope when (if) I have my own family we will be closer/like each other more and they will actually miss me when we're apart! (Not that I don't miss my family but I don't find saying goodbye to them as hard as every other normal person seems to. It probably helps that at least one of my parents has lived 6 hours away from me since I was about 10!)Confuzzled Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471749871770054481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-10813055358293292532017-05-11T23:13:02.027+10:002017-05-11T23:13:02.027+10:00Hooray for a trip home to Texas and getting to eat...Hooray for a trip home to Texas and getting to eat all of the food that you miss so much! I seriously don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have Tex Mex on a regular basis! When you make it to College Station you definitely need to try Fuego or Torchy's for some really good tacos! Fuego was the place that Miles Garrett was obsessed with! Also hooray for getting to meet up with Kristen while she's visiting Sydney!Ashley @ The Wandering Weekendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253908070346972965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-68332633525750756412017-05-11T22:35:41.924+10:002017-05-11T22:35:41.924+10:00i am so so excited for you to go home! i'm gla...i am so so excited for you to go home! i'm glad you'll have 3 weeks too! i cant wait to see and read all the things you do. being with family, there's just nothing that compares. as i said on kristen's blog - you both are super strong women and i think not a lot of people realize how difficult it is to be so far from home. love u!<br /><br />xoxo <a href="http://cheshirekatblog.com" title="Cheshire Kat blog" rel="nofollow">cheshire kat</a>kerri @ cheshire kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10512167732198909499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-2106337979659347352017-05-11T21:20:06.890+10:002017-05-11T21:20:06.890+10:00I love this series ladies!!

It sounds busy and I'm sure it will go by fast (unfortunately, it always seems to happen that way) but so glad you get that special trip with your niece/sis in law and mom. You are also so right about prioritizing visiting with the people who are actually in your life despite being so far away. I was always the same when I went home (across the country) in University and seeing family was always my #1 priority. You just can't get enough of that time with loved ones!! <br />Safe travels and have an absolutely amazing time!!! I will be thinking of you!!Heather @ The Maritime Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334570091224362628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-74351217724244556322017-05-11T20:52:22.973+10:002017-05-11T20:52:22.973+10:00yay us ;) remind me again your exact dates for you...yay us ;) remind me again your exact dates for your trip. we need to organise/hash out when we will meet up in sydney too!Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.com
