It's summer time in good ol' Idaho.
The lake is refreshing.
The early morning bike rides are happening.
The backpacking training has begun.
The triathlon training has begun.
The school stuff is still not unpacked.
The week is full of having coffee, sleepovers, dessert, or outings with great buds from home.
I've been home for less than a week - I am exhausted. I forgot how go-go-go the Baldwin household is with my sister around. :) She is a motivator and encourager - just sometimes a little too intense for me to handle, though. I'm slowly getting back into the lifestyle I have here at home. It's strange transitioning from living "solo" and being responsible for myself to moving back in with a family where there are sacrifices to make, chores to do, and others to cope with.
I'm learning, again, how to be a part of the family. I am being reminded of all the great things that make home home. Brett's dry humor that only, sometimes, I laugh at; JoAnne's energy to never sit down - that includes her making wonderful meals; my mum's dedication and sacrifices she makes to make this family run how it does; and my dad's understanding and support that I am filled with every day. I couldn't be blessed with a better family - they love me day in and day out despite their frustration or contentment with me.
Nonetheless, I'm a happy puppy at home.
