There have been many reunions since we've been back. Reuniting with family, old friends, older friends, and even acquaintances. The one common thread is that each person who I tell, "No, we aren't just visiting. We have moved here!," has had the same reaction: excited joy! Everyone here seems to be so happy that we have moved back. At first it struck me as kind of odd. Even people I didn't know that well seemed to be really happy for us, but then I realized why.
For us, coming back to Augusta was like coming home. Mike and I both went to college here, we're married here, had 2 of our children here, made numerous friends here, and my mom's entire family (all 33 of them) and all my brothers and sisters live here. Most people that know us, know my family as well, and I think their joy for us is over us coming back to all of that. Whatever the reason, it has been so nice to get such warm responses from everyone when they learn we have returned.
