Sweet story, lady SweetGlowPixie!
I can only imagine being that far from "home". I moved a few states away and I miss family and friends terribly!
I hope you get your chance to go back and have the opportunity to cherish and appreciate it without the difficulties you had before.
Hope your Monday is a great one! You said it was a big day, I hope that it is a a good "big day".
I promised you a few knights...and I found about 4 pics. I will keep looking as we both know that a castle needs a great knight...or 10!
