So I had my first visit back to Blacksburg, Va....home of the HOKIES!! These pics are obviously not from this weekend but do represent a lot of what I think of when I think of the "home" I left...good friends, good bike rides and good mountains!! Luckily I brought my GREAT husband with me to NC and my kids too!
It was weekend trip with me and the kids since Mike was at a wedding of an old friend. Wow, what a world wind weekend but soooo much fun! I was able to see lots of old friends and even get in a 25 mile bike ride (with some climbs...yeah!) and a 30 min swim. I don't think my best friends Ali and Christie quite believed me when I told them I was starting from scratch until they actually saw me attempt to swim laps.
The kids did great for 5 hours there and back. We stayed with my wonderful friend Susan on Saturday and she has 3 kids. What a blast that was for the kids! Makes me wish she and I had done more together with our kids while I lived there!
I truly miss Blacksburg and hope to move back there or to the mountains one day. I am okay with living here but I think my heart is to live in the mountains. I find peace and serenity in the beauty of the mountains and even though it hurts like HE** I love to climb those mountains on my bike! Greenville is a two year commitment and that is how Mike and I have agreed to view it. In August of 2010 we'll reevaluate our situation and maybe make a move.. Who know with Obama in office we may have to move sooner.
