We are home! Yesterday, Peyton and Christopher came to help us with the last of the packing and purging. I don't know how we would have done it without them. We were also blessed with Steve's sisters and their husbands, who came to say goodbye, and promised to come visit sometime! We even came home with a homemade apple pie! We planned to leave Pennsylvania at 4:00 in the afternoon, and actually waved goodbye at 5:15, so that wasn't too bad. Christopher took one last photo of us, and we loaded up and took off. With only one quick stop, we arrived home in Maryland around 11:45, and were welcomed by the brightly shining porch light Rhett left on for us.
Thankful, exhausted, excited, and fueled by Peyton's delicious cooking and a few extra Dunkin' coffees.
The day started with this stunning final sunrise at the lake...
And ended with a beautiful, cozy welcome home complete with homemade cupcakes and fresh tulips, courtesy of Rhett and Kyrstin.
I hope things are well with you, my friends. I will be around to visit soon. Have a cozy Wednesday!

I am glad you're home! Hope today is full of good and cozy things.
ReplyDeleteI had to check an east coast map to see how far apart the two states are. West coast girl.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I'm sure it has been bittersweet for you but that lake house will now be occupied with a new family that will fill it with wonderful memories as you have and I'm sure it feels good to be settled in the place you now call home. Home is where the heart is, as they say.
ReplyDeleteHome Sweet Home! Xx
