My everyday prayer to God

I pray everyday, throughout the day, mostly for friends and family and for the United States and our planet. But lately I have added a selfish prayer, one that I pray about a dozen times a day. Maybe it's more of a plea than a prayer, but my heart is aching and it goes like this:

Dear God,
Thank you for my life and all the blessings and adventures you have given me. My special prayer is that you will send us back to Boise....the one place that I call "HOME". I know that the possibility is so remote that it would take a miracle from You to make it happen, but I believe in miracles. I miss my family and my support network. I am missing my nieces and nephews growing up. I want to be close to my grandparents as they age. I miss my church family. I miss the beauty and freshness of Idaho and I especially miss my pottery studio. I am broken down and tired from so many moves...I am lonely and isolated from all that was familiar. I need my haven back.
You know the desire of my heart Lord, but If it is not in your plan to answer this prayer then I pray for grace to accept what I believe is your will for our lives.
.....but please please please let us go back to Boise!
Amen
