A week ago Sunday, Justin + the boys and I flew up to Illinois and
then went straight to my parents’ lake house in Wisconsihttps://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=854511047331127213#editor/target=post;postID=7410892225294083371n. Justin left
mid-week for a work trip and the boys and I stayed until friday, when my
sister flew back with us.
It was the most relaxing vacation we’ve had since having the boys.
Part of that was my mind set, and part of that was the boys’ age. They
did great (GREAT!) on the airplane and slept perfectly in a new place
the whole week. I couldn’t have asked for a better time with family.
The older I get, the more I dislike how far away I am from my
immediate and extended family. While I’m grateful to live near my
in-laws, I do wish we were all closer for more casual times together,
like “c’mon over for breakfast”, you know?
Anyway, other than the fun from the week + weekend with my sister, I
have to admit it was nice to step back from social media + e-mail for
the time as well. I checked on a few things, but I intentionally wanted
to take this past week to clear my head a little bit and recharge for
what will likely be a full + busy fall!
But I missed y’all. Also, I said “y’all” to the hostess at Giordano’s
in Chicago so that was a first for me. It didn’t even register that it
was coming out of my mouth, it felt so natural.
I guess 10 years in the South will do that to you.
I am getting back into the swing of things around here and also on
snapchat (K8_smallthings), and it feels good to have a little more
excitement than usual about getting back to work.
Hope your Monday is good to you, regular content will be resuming very shortly.
