We drove from Rapid City on Thursday night and spent the night in Casper so Chris could take his boys out for breakfast the next morning (they are spending the summer with their mother). We drove on to Riverton on Friday morning and stayed until Monday morning. It was nice to be able to see family, and to go to church in Kinnear on Sunday morning. Chris even managed to not be too overwhelmed with it all!
I think that one knows they have made a transition or have adapted to a change when what is familiar becomes less desirable then the new environment. I loved being "home", but I discovered I was looking forward to getting back to Rapid. It was nice to have my own space, my own bed, and my own little doggies running around, but more than any of that, it was the sense of "fit" that I found myself wanting. I think that my relief at stepping through our front door was an indication that I am adapting just fine to my new surroundings.
The above picture is my my favorite guy and me. He hurt his back yesterday, and after stepping over the thresh hold with my relief at being able to do so, I found myself in the ER with my hubby as they pumped lots of good drugs into him...and I found myself on the couch to ensure we both got some sleep...Ah well, all homecomings are not always picture book.
