Sometimes I underestimate my need to take a break.
I was reluctant to leave town yesterday, I have so much TO DO. It's hard to break away sometimes. But I NEED to just break the wrist and walk away sometimes.
So, me, the boys, Holly and baby R headed south to meet up with Mallory, Kate, her boys, and our mom. We just went out to eat, chatted, rubbed Mallory's belly... it wasn't much excitement per se, but it was NICE.
(^because that's just the kind of stuff I like to photograph!)
Sometimes I forget how painful it was to see pictures of everyone just hanging out when I lived 10+ hours away. Now, north to south, we're all within a 3 hour span (and meeting in the middle is perfect, because that's where Mal is), except for one brother and his adorable family. But I feel better knowing that they are close to Amber's family. They aren't all alone like we were.
We had some pretty wonderful friends who made us feel like family, but still, there were moments of intense pangs of... well, jealousy?
On the way home, we saw the most PINK sunset ever and Holly and I were agog... I would have photographed it, but I was driving and the kids were wearing down.
I still get bummed when I hear you guys are all together doing something. :( I've always said that I either want to live near my family or Cal's family and no where else. :) I think it would be really hard living far away from any family.
