After a nineteen day work streak, E packed us up and whisked us away to a campground with friends. Our time with these friends was long overdue! As we pulled away from our house Friday night, after Bubba's football practice, I felt a calm from my head to my toes. Literally. I inhaled peace and quality time and I exhaled stress and schedules. Even the traffic on a Friday afternoon didn't get me down. I was so happy to spend time together.
Being home with the kids is a blessing. I know this. But not having my help mate by my side for practices, games, homework, dinner, bedtimes and whatever else comes my way. . .is draining. It's my dream to be with my babies but I didn't realize that meant less time with my love. Biting my tongue and not complaining takes its toll on me too. So this weekend away was the pick me up I needed and the time with daddy that the kids were craving.
Dinner with friends, fishing, swimming, ice cream, smores, bobcat sighting, hiking, and visitors filled our hearts. Time away from the hum of home out in the great outdoors was refreshment for our thirst. Happy kids, happy friends, happy husband, happy wife. Happiest Life. Thankful.
