Are we home yet?

Joseph and I have lived in Louisville for six years now. We were married for six months before Joseph started seminary, and during that time we lived in a little house in rural West Tennessee. I was finishing up my bachelor's degree and working part-time at the campus library, and Joseph was working at Lifeway and serving on staff at a church as a youth pastor. Looking back, those six months seem like such a short time compared to the six years we have spent in Louisville. I kind of forget about them, actually.

Our families are in TN. We both grew up in TN, went to college in TN and were married in TN. We lived in our first home together in TN. But we have lived in KY for most of our adult lives. The question is- Are we home yet? Has Kentucky become our new "home" or do we still consider TN to be home?

I'm really not sure.

Our boys have been born and raised in Kentuckiana (Kentucky/Indiana= Kentuckiana). We are still living here even after Joseph finished seminary. We like living in Louisville, in fact. It is a neat city.... However, when we go to TN to visit our parents, we still catch ourselves telling people that "We are going home to TN for a few days." There is a special place in our hearts for our home state of Tennessee, where the grass is greener, the air is cleaner and the potholes are smaller. (Kentucky has terrible roads!)

So, the question is still out there, "Are we home yet?" Only time will tell.
