Moments D615: Home

Today EQ & I headed back to California.  The flight was uneventful, which is always a good thing!  We took a slight detour on the way back home so that we could have lunch at EQ's favourite burger place.  It was early for lunch, only 11:30 am, but our bodies were still on EST and at 2:30 pm time we were hungry!

When we finally arrived home, it was early afternoon and we were happily unpacking and settling in when we had MooCow and a couple of others drop by for quick hellos and to catch up on our mutal holidays.  It was good to be welcomed home.

But the best moment was when EQ & I finally crawled into bed.  It was early by PST standards, but it felt delicious to curl into EQ's arms and attempt to watch "Despicable Me2".  I say attempt because within 30 minutes we were both out cold.  I woke near the end of the movie to turn off the lights, the TV and tuck us in deeper into the duvet.

Sometimes, it's just nice to be home.  In bed.  Curled up in a duvet.  Falling asleep with the TV on.

Moments enjoying the comforts of home.

Moments realizing what those comforts are.

Moments D595: Warm Reunions

Today was EQ's staff party.  Perfect right?  It's my first day back in California and we had a chance to share an evening with his closest friends and co-workers.

But I was a little nervous.  I didn't tell him that.  In fact, I didn't tell anyone that.  Why would I?  It's been awhile since I've been here and seen his friends and co-workers.  It built up some nerves.

How wonderful it felt to have those nerves melt away so quickly shortly after we arrived at the party.  It was this warm wave of positive energy and acceptance from his closest friends and co-workers.  With smiles and hugs, it was easy to let the nerves go.

What incredible people.  What a delightful party.

It`s good to be back.

Moments feeling a little like a fish out of water.

Moments realizing, it`s okay to be out of the water, you`re not a fish!
