![[sound on] We’re home, and Penny didn’t forget us! In fact, she won’t leave my side 💞
.
Our travels were not just wonderfully exhausting, but also traumatic. I got a massage that ended up causing my back to flare, so I’m resting with a snoring puppy who can’t quite seem to get close enough 😂
.
Yesterday was pretty emotional: our taxi driver had a stroke on the way to Heathrow. We and he are all safe, but had no idea anything was wrong until he pulled over and called 999 to report he needed an ambulance. Then, as we came into VA a terrible weather storm caused the plane to lift us all out of our seats with screams and fear of crashing right out of a movie. And then, not an hour later, a tornado hit our city.
.
I’m taking today to recover - emotionally and physically - and remind myself how grateful I am for all of our health and safety. We had a wonderful trip full of memories, culture, and history - but we also had experiences we won’t forget, like Notre Dame burning the day we were in Paris.
.
We have so much to be thankful for, and it really does make me appreciate being home. 💞
