Okay, this post is long overdue. I think that it was hard for me to put into words my trip to England and coming back home. I did get very homesick and was ready to come back home, yet I was very sad to leave my family back in England. The worst part was the day I left, my niece wrapped her body around my legs so I couldn't leave. It was pretty emotional. Thank-you Lisa and Jason for having two amazing, beautiful children. I am blessed to have Sophie and Matthew as my niece and nephew. Now we just need to get you guys to move here so I can spoil the heck out of them!
Being in England did make me appreciate a lot about home. I think it is always good to go away a little bit because there is no feeling better than coming home. These are the things I missed while I was gone:
1. My husband
2. The girly days
3. My king size bed (slept with my sister in a double bed while I was in England)
4. My cat
5. My in-laws (yes, I am very fortunate to have great in-laws)
6. Being able to drive on the right side
7. All my friends babies
8. Air conditioning
9. Modern conviences (dryer, dishwasher, showers, etc)
10. City living (compared to where I was, Naples is NYC)
Things I will about England:
1. My sister
2. My niece and nephew
3. Jason (sorry, you are number 3)
4. The best grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches (I am hooked)
5. Afternoon tea
6. My daily walks in the forest
7. The unbelievable views
8. Being with my family
9. My evening drink in the pub
10. Again, my family!!! (That warrants two spots on the list)
Here are some more pics that I haven't shared yet. Cheers.

We missed you too! But, I love how much fun you had and how bonded you feel to those babies after spending so much time with them! So worth it! xoxo

I sure did miss you! So happy you live five minutes from me I don't know what I would do if you lived any further. We are so lucky to live so close I learned to appreciate that while you were gone especially now that I have Skye! We both need you and can't wait until you have a niece or nephew for me and a best girlfriend or boyfriend for her.
