Home for Sam is a mixture of emotions. She had a great childhood growing up on a small ranch, swimming in the lake, playing in the barn, riding her horse as well as spending time with family and friends.
But she wanted more. She didn't want to grow up to be another wife and mother living in a small town. So, she left home follow her dreams.
Just like Sam, many of us leave home to chase dreams and find excitement only to find that home wasn't so bad after all.
As the wife of a military man, we traveled a lot so home was where we were at the time. I've got some great memories of where we've been but through the years, I've always carried the memories of home where I grew up.

WOW! How very fitting that you're involved in this hop! My dad was in the Air Force - So I can relate! :)
this story sounds like a perfect fit for this hop. I grew up in the same house from kindergarten through college and treasure those memories. In my married life, I've had homes in four homes in three states and have learned "home" is all about the people you call family.

As an adult, I have moved around a lot, rarely going back to my "home" state (where I lived for my first 21 years). In fact, last month I went back for a niece's wedding and realized it had been more than a decade since I had last been there. Being there still gave me an unusual feeling. I wondered how different my life might have been if I had not left home. I'm not usually so introspective about such things.
