Back to Normal

It's Monday, and my brother and his family are gone..... I miss them, already. They are on their traveling vacation. They are taking 13 days to drive one day and tour the next, so on and so forth. They're stopping in LasVegas, the Grand Canyon and other fun places on their way to NW US to catch their plane. I haven't heard from them, but don't expect to until they arrive and get settled in.

We used the weekend to get rested from their visit. We went and went while they were here[swimming at Northcrest Pool, Splashway, Joe barbequed and took it to my Grandmother's for a family dinner, adults night out, wives day shopping and manicures, while Kim and I went shopping the guys took the girls fishing, we sent to boys to work for Grandpa and went out in the evening for dinner with Jean and Joe, my husbands parents. I can't tell you how many times we ate out.....] When we weren't going, we were staying up late visiting. They were here for 4 full days. It was exhausting, but it was worth it. My Joe was so cute while they were here. He kept everyone laughing. You forget how charming a spouse can be sometimes. With day to day living and him being gone so much, we don't always get to do a lot of stuff together. We are lucky if we get to talk to each other every day. I miss the Joe that I used to date. We used to do things together, talk, laugh, and just have fun. Married life and children sure changes things...........
