So I still am not really taking photos, but I ones from my mom and my hubby! I had to include a photo for Matt's parents of how BIG their granddaughter is getting! :)We had *the best* time. Car rental, gorgeous drive over Chinook Pass, family time all day Saturday and Sunday, fireworks and food, baby-holding and happy sighs.
It seriously went by too fast.
I cried and cried when we got home. We don't have any family out here and four hours away from where everyone we love is hard. :(
I am bouncing back, little by little today - the weekend was such a gift but so sad it is over. We are planning another getaway at the end of July, so that will be nice.
I hope you all had a great Fourth!

Jessie's mother-in-law once told her she was lucky because she would *always* have her daughters, even when she no longer had her son. Meaning, of course, daughters have such a STRONG familial connection. This is why my sweet b-i-l is in AZ and not here in VA--it's where his wife's family is. It makes sense.
All this to say, I understand your heartache. I swear, I would LOVE to live in Boulder, but I can't IMAGINE leaving my family behind.
I'm SO glad you had a wonderful visit. Hang in there.
HUGS!
I sure loved going to the Dollar Tree with you, and getting the coupon holder-thingy. Geez, daughters have resources that are so valuable. Hang in there; see you in August! Hugs to Matt...
I remember how hard it was when I was first married to live away from family. It hurt so bad to leave.
By God's grace, I now do not cry when I leave, but look forward to the next time. It took time to get here.
Praying for you.
I am so glad you had time with your family, and am so sad that it hurt you so much to leave them and go back over the mountains. I still struggle with being 18 hours away from our family. Sometimes it just hurts. It's okay to cry.
Hope and pray you have a good week and that the time until "next time" doesn't seem too long.
Roo thanks for helping me realize how blessed Chris and I are to have family close by. Sometimes I take it for granted. And know that you're surrounded by a "family" of friends. :)
