My neice was born!

Jayda Bomben is her name, born at 3:45 in the morning... yesterday? Time zones are confusing.

I will soon be on my way to see her and my strong big sister who has just become a mother!

My suitcase is next to me as I type away at work, finishing up projects and handing things over.

I will be at home for a week...seeing Texas fall, eating my dad's cooking, relaxing in the folds of my family, catching up with as many as I can, climbing some trees, and getting to know the newest member of my beautiful growing family.

I am so blessed. Life is so rich.
