WOW! Yes, I know...it's been 2 months since my last post. That certainly hasn't been because there hasn't been anything to record...I've just been on a whirlwind adventure I feel like and really haven't taken the time to 'collect' my thoughts enough to post them. I honestly thought I'd have SO MUCH time to read, blog, and relax while I was on my sabbatical in NC, but things certainly worked out differently! I think I also had a case of the lazies during this time... I sometimes feel like I am just a kid again when I am at my parents house.....
The boys and I have had a wonderful time spending so much time with family and friends. We did visit so many people and made lots of new memories, but would you believe that we still didn't get to see everyone we wanted to see?! I always have the best intentions and I really believe that I'm going to get it all done, but I never do. We'd travel for a couple of days here and then there and frankly, I did drop some plans because I felt I needed to give the boys a rest! They were so great and flexible and I am amazed at how they adapt. The good Lord certainly knew the plans He had for us and gave us personalities that could handle the nomadic lifestyle we've grown accustomed too.
I thought about all the places I've been and decided that I would count all the moves that I personally have made since I left home at age 18 to begin college...17 years ago. Can you believe that I have lived in 18 different places since then! I couldn't believe it! That's more than one move a year! Sweet Henry will be 4 in June and has lived in 4 states. He's off to a good start!
So, I am back. We leave on Sunday for Minnesota. We'll be in a hotel for several days before we close on the 26th. Please pray that we have a safe and uneventful trip and that we (Brent and I)ease back into our lifestyle of living together again. We've really missed one another, but I think we grow accustomed to really only having to think of ourselves when we're apart for times like this. We have to remember to put the other first again and it usually takes about a week to get back into the groove of things! I have missed our family times so much! The boys have missed their daddy and can not wait to be reunited! Its been a long 3 months and I hope we never have to do it again, but we are SO grateful that we had a place to go where we could be loved and nutured away from Brent. We know how blessed we are to have the kind of parents we do and hope that they realize how much we appreciate them.
I'll continue to post some things from our trip to NC, as I go through photos and such!

It's SO good to hear from you! I was missing you! I'm glad you guys are doing well and enjoyed your time in NC. We are planning another trip there soon since my dad was diagnosed with cancer (did you get my email?).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad you guys will be able to be back together as a family again. I don't know how I would have done it! I'm sure Brent is missing you guys like CRAZY! I hope all goes well on your closing and that you are able to get settled quickly and back into a routine. I'd love to hear more from you! :-)
