Home and Back Again....

So I am already back in New York.. Where did the time go? Don't you just hate how you can spend WEEKS or even MONTHS looking forward to something, and then its over before it feels like its even begun?! Goodness. Time really is the craziest concept of my life; I never seem to have enough... while having too much at the same time. Does that even make sense? No not really but thats how it is!

Being home was amazing. I have the BEST family and the most AMAZING friends in the world! It was difficult trying to squeeze everything into the 6 days I had, and while I fell asleep easily at home, I had no desire to waste my precious minutes in bed. Needless to say I am still exhausted but hey... who isn't?

Seeing my sister was probably the weirdest just because I hadn't seen her since January; aka not pregnant. I also got to see her house (adorable) and meet her dog, Molly, (cutest dog, excluding Taffy, of my life!) for the first time. I spent a good portion of my time with them. They are very entertaining to be around and we get along wonderfully. That could not have been said three years ago, so for that I am very grateful!

My Mom is a babe. Its official. She looks absolutely fantastic and if I am destined to look like that at 40... well SIGN ME UP! Every time some one tells me "you look so much like you mother" I thank them profusely. Dad your looking great too.... I also know you know how lucky you are :-P My brother is stud and HUGE. He is 6'2 at the moment and loves the fact that he is bigger than me. I am still his older sister and can still beat him up. Sort of. Not really at all actually...

I was so happy to see my grandparents and my Uncle Ronnie and great grandpa. I really do have an amazing support system. Why did no one shake me in High School and say STOP being a baby and realize what you have? Goodness. I know now... does that count for anything?

I am sure that this post, like all my other ones, makes very little sense but thats all right. Just know I was incredibly happy to go home after 8 (long) months and can't wait to go back in October for the arrival of baby Lucas and then for good in December. Being back in New York isn't horrible. I love the kids and I have amazing friends out here as well. I have so much to do and accomplish, with not so much time. Wish me luck, I can do it :)

I love you all!

Also sorry their arent any pictures.... I didn't take any... how lame!

Aww, that's so sad that you had so little time to spend with your family, but I'm glad that you had an amazing time!

I absolutely loves this blog post. One, because you found another dog that was tolerable, and two because you described many many ways that you love you family so much. I'm still not super close to my family, and it makes me happy to know that over the past few years you have changed and gotten along better with your family.

I'm glad that you are okay with being back in New York for the time being and that you have made wonderful friends there. But, I'm super excited for you to come back to Utah in December so that I can see you in January!!

You know what? I think I need to call you sometime. Yes, definitely. <3
