July 02

i don't wanna go back

the weather is perfect here.  i love the mountains.  it is hot in wilmington.  the beach? eh.  sigh.

the time here has been really good.  i've gotten to hang with friends and family.  we've played in the creek and the "mushroom pool". 

                    

we've hiked the arboretum and played Frisbee in the drive way.

 

elijah has become more independent and has become less afraid of the water.  grace tells stories that no one can understand verbally, but with her gestures and her inflections, it is easy to follow along with what she says.

i got a new tattoo designed by my friend laura and done by my friend galen.

 

my parents awesomely have watched and entertained the kids several times and even got them to go to sleep without me.  it was so nice to be out and not have to worry about the kiddos.  i went go kart riding with old high school friends and it was great (except for the massive headache i ended up with.)  it was fun to think back on high school and laugh about it.

if jerry weren't on the coast, i would have even a harder time going back.  the only thing that was bad about this trip was jerry wasn't here.  i miss him so much it hurts.  i will be glad he will be here tomorrow.  i really wish there was a job available here.  i think we would honestly move in a minute.  sigh.  alas.

there are more things to write, but i have some things i have to get done tonight.  when we get back to the heat of the coast, i will post pics and blog some more.  i leave by wishing you  a happy 4th of july!
