Trading Places

I am back. I have been back since Sunday. It was fun to have a few days to get away.

I stayed with my lifelong neighbor. We stayed up talking til midnight and then stayed in our pajamas until 10 or so the next morning.

I was able to go to lunch for almost 4 hours with some of my closest friends from Utah.

I was able to spend sometime with some of my very first students who now qualify as friends since they are in college and married and starting to have babies. (Yes, it made me feel old.)

I had a relaxing drive to Rexburg.

I stayed with Meg and caught up on her life. Then I watched her get ready for the biggest day of her life. I then was touched by the words of the sealer as she was married for time and all eternity in the Rexburg temple. And then I thought I was going to freeze to death with the wind and the rain during the rest of the festivities. But I was still so glad to be there.

I returned to Utah.

I flew home.

And on that flight I read and read because I had no one to care for.

And then I came back to my life. And as much as I loved my time away. I love my role as a mother that much more. It was nice to be back.

And no, I don't have any pictures because I forgot to take my camera.

And then Monday morning, Erich got in his truck and left for Utah for the week.
