It's official. It looks like the children and I are headed home to South Carolina for Christmas. I just finished booking their flights, and I've booked one leg of mine (the children usually go down about a week ahead of me). It should be really good to see my family. I've been missing them a lot more since I moved here...even more so than when I lived in Chicago. It's funny though, I hadn't seriously thought about going home until a friend invited to me to spend some time with him and his family back east. I'm not sure how all of that will pan out (though I hope for the best) but I am sure of one thing...It'll be good to be HOME for the holidays :)
