My husband and I just made it back from the most wonderful trip out east! It was a great time of laughs, conversation, visits to new places, and visits with family.
Because there is so much that I want to share; I will be creating another page with pictures of the trip. For now I will just go over a few highlights.
We started out in Philly to see my twin sister and husband. The weekend went by too fast as well had a great visit. It made me so happy to see them doing so well and happy with their jobs. It made me sad to think that they are no longer a day's drive away from Z & me, but they are across the country; which makes frequent visits hard to do. I guess with each visit our time together will be that more special. I am just fortunate that I can see my sister and we have a great friendship. Some family memebers do not even know what that is or is like.
After Philly we made the drive up to Boston. I was so proud of myself; I drove through NYC! It was crazy, the city was overwhleming, but beautiful at the same time.
Once we reached Boston we got the opprotunity to spend a couple days with D & S (Z's cousin and wife). They have two little boys that are so precious. It was so nice of them to welcome us into their home, and to spend some much overdue time with them. S is such a dedicated mom, and D is a dedicated man to provide for his family.
Throughout our time in Boston we toured Fenway Park, Samuel Adams Brewery, walked the Freedom Trail, saw a theatre production in Boston Common, ate some amazing food, rode on the duck tour boats, and ate some amazing food! It was so much fun just being in this large city and discovering it together as a couple. Part of me thought every couple should go on a trip like this to help learn communication. We had to do alot of it, but it was great, it was teamwork, it was us; together!
After Boston we drove over to Cape Cod and spent time with my cousin and his wife. They have lived in the Cape for just over a year. It was great to get a visit with them as well. It was so fun to walk the beaches, check out the scenery, and just laugh and have a good time.
On the drive home I was a little depressed thinking that I had to go back to my midwest small town. There is a big world, and big cities like Philly and Boston, and I am stuck in little Otown. It is so great to be home, and know that I have family and friends here, but after the trip it got me to thinking... is there something bigger that I am supposed to be a part of? Is this where we are supposed to be? Am I ok with that? I guess all these questions are good ones to truly challenge myself to live each day to the fullest. I also just need to trust in God and have condifence in his plan even that it is totally an unknown plan to me. Maybe this little midwestern town is where I am supposed to be; I need to be okay with that.
