It isn’t easy to say goodbye to people you love like family. There’s an ache in your chest, like someone took a piece of your heart, and the ache doesn’t really go away. You just learn how to live with it until you see them again. And you remember all your times with them and thank God for giving them to you. We flew home from MN almost two weeks ago, and it’s still hard to believe our visit is already over. Three weeks sounded like a lot of time…but it flew past! Being with my friends – my friends…

The last few days have been so wonderful in terms of work…I have so many projects that I’m excited about and am looking forward to posting. {all images via pinterest. clockwise, from top left: 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6}
