As I mentioned in my other blog, we went home to Blackfoot for the weekend. The wide open spaces on the road once we pass into Idaho is a breath of fresh air...literally! No smog, no traffic, no road construction, no roadside barriers with semi-trucks on the other side to give you claustriphobia. A physical as well as emotional relief comes from traveling back to our home town.
As if just getting out of the city wasn't enough, we have so much family there. Ryan's parents, 3 brothers with their families, and sister with her family are all there. My parents, brother, and grandparents are there. And we both have many aunts and cousins there as well. Some people may not feel the pull of their roots, but Ryan and I do. We need to be with our families we need to spend time with them and feel their love and support of us. Plus their just fun to be around. Gotta love family game nights.
We must not be the only ones who feel this way about Blackfoot because we have quite a few friends still around as well. We had so much fun playing games with my best friends Sara and Josh and their Husband and wife.......did you fallow that? These are only a few of the friends we still have there. Granted some are moving, like to Montana or here to Utah, but we still have some that have decided to settle there. I have such a social personality that being with my old friends is also a great renewal for me.
We hope to move back to Blackfoot someday, but till then we'll just have to make due with renewal trips. If we didn't get a chance to see you this time maybe next time!
