life on the road

Well I didn't get my thirteen days in a row with Jack, but I did get to take a road trip to Kansas City with my dear friend. Jenn is moving to Kansas City to begin her new life, new job, new friends, and so much more with her soon to be new husband. This road trip however did not prove to be as adventurous as others. You see Jenn has driven more than once in a uhaul with our family and there always seems to be something that goes....well, lets just say not as planned. My trip with Jenn had no live animals, no tire blow outs, no waiting for hours and hours for help to arrive, no cramping into hotel rooms where the only good place to sleep was the bathtub, no non-stop crying that only began when we stopped to rest, no 100 plus degree weather without air condition, no diapers to change or stops that we had to remind someone repeatedly not to touch anything in the bathroom. We did not stop at a subway (didn't dare) and we made it there in record time! This trip however did leave me with memories I will not soon forget. I always love my time with Aunt Jenny and I will miss her dearly. I certainly look forward to our next road trip together.

Well life has been a whirlwind the last month or so, and I am ready for my sweet hunk to return to me! I must say though this past week has been one of me laying in the pool and playing with the kids. And while that's all good and fine, it just doesn't feel the same when my best friend is in another country. We just celebrated 13 years together and I cannot wait for the next 13! (right now however I would be happy with 13 days in a row with him) He comes home sometime tomorrow and I am waiting! I would not have pictured my life like this 13 years ago, New Jersey, three kids, a pastors wife. And yet there is no way I would ever change the people I am spending it with! The times we must be apart are only bearable because of the amazing times we share when we are together.
