Wow, it's been a while since I've blogged I guess! We just got back from vacation visiting family in MI for Jills' wedding, and it seems like no matter when we get back from trips like these we always have to hit the road running. We got back in town at 2 a.m. and were very fortunate that the kids decided to let us "sleep in" until 9:30. I think the events of the last week and a half have finally caught up to me though, because when those kids got up I still felt like I could have slept for another 12 hours easily. Instead, being the never stopping, overly devoted, neverendingly (yes I made that word up) energized wife and mother that I am (HA!) I jumped out of bed and promptly asked Jon if he would go get us all something for breakfast! (we ALL have to take the easy way out sometimes ladies...) Today was a day of weakness for me. I truly felt like I had been run over by a very large object at some point during the night.
As I think back at the last week and a half though, I am thankful for all that was accomplished while we were there and for the good time we had. The first few days we were there I was able to spend some time with the girls while Jon watched the kids. It was pretty busy at first but definitely fun. The wedding was beautiful, of course, and when it was all said and done we were able to sit back and breathe some. We took the kids to the zoo one day and pretty much just relaxed the rest of the week. I'm not one of those people that always has to have an agenda for my vacations. Our idea of a real vacation is one that involves a lot of relaxing taking things one day at a time and doing whatever comes to mind if and when we get board with relaxing - I can assure you that doesn't happen very often. ha ha! Overall it was a nice trip though I would've loved for it to have been longer :( As we all know, life doesn't stop just because we are on vacation though. Responsibilities of life are still waiting for us when we get back, and sometimes I think it's almost refreshing to get back into the swing of things. Ask me about that again in a week or so and I will probably have a different answer though. LOL
We are very happy for Jill and Rob as they start their new life together. I'm thankful that we were able to be a part of their special day and look forward to spending more time with them soon. As always I wish I could live closer so we could all hang out more, maybe someday. For now, we continue to accomplish the tasks set before us and strive to be content in our present circumstances of life.
