TAKE ME HOME

When I was young, we would go camping together for our yearly family vacation. “As a family,” Mom would always say. Dad and Mom in the front of the truck, Christi and I piled in the back with all the gear and our stack of allotted library books , our own radio, and a stash of snacks from Mom. Whenever we got back on the road and were headed in the direction of home, Dad would inevitably belt out the song “Take me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver. Depending on how old we were, Christi and I would enthusiastically chime in or groan at his cheesiness.

And now, Seth and I are heading home… to Oregon and Montana. In a matter of hours (well, two days, I guess... the flight back is pretty brutal) we will get to see my little niece, Mili, who is now almost a year old!! We will go on yet another Newcomb family camping trip to the Oregon coast, reconnect with all of our family and friends, and get some spiritual, emotional, and physical rest.

We arrive in Portland July 14th and will be in the States for just over a month. Can’t wait!! Take me HOME!!
