Funny, I never really pictured myself as a person who would thrive in an urban metropolis. I mean yes, Vegas is a city of several million people, but when we bought the house a major selling factor was the fact that it was less than a mile away from the mountains. I love those mountains, watching the sun set over them, hiking them, knowing that at any time I could leave the paved streets, stoplights, and masses of people behind and be in the middle of nature. Even if that nature consisted of 115 degree heat and scorpions.
And yet, with only five days until I head back to the family and house that I love I find myself already missing our new home. The lights, the flow of people, the hidden pockets of green in the middle of the concrete jungle. I'm not sure if it's the town that I'll miss or the fact that it's here that Kirk, Sarah and I are finally being able to live as a family for the first time. Likely it's a combination of both.
What I do know is that as much as I'm looking forward to being home with everyone in Vegas I'll be just as happy to return to Tokyo, to this other home we've made here.
