We stayed up too late last night sipping red wine - her a very small glass considering Thatcher's due to arrive in 8 weeks... but sipping none-the-less... enjoying time together laughing and talking about her recent year in Charlotte, North Carolina and my life here in Everett, Washington. What our kids are up to and the moments that are creating in us a deeper love for our husbands... from jobs to dinner to parenting. We talked until we couldn't keep our eyes open any longer.
This morning we woke and spent the morning and early afternoon out and about then made our way home for a dose of High School Musical 2 - something Rebecca had never had the honor of seeing. The kids were sent upstairs for quiet time and selfishly we let the hour come and go without calling them back down... the majority of the time was spent just staring at each other and trying to comprehend the fact that we were in the same room together!
We had dinner out with Kyle and the kids, eating Spaghetti with Mizithra Cheese and Browned Butter - a favorite of Rebecca's and mine... and then came home to put the kids down and soak in the last minutes of time together.
It was my fault that there was a pregnant lady running through the concourse at ten o'clock tonight... she was late for a direct flight back to her family... back to her routine... back to the people that love her dearly... back to the people that need her the most.
But I'd be remiss to say that we here in Washington don't come in a close second.
Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to be here with each of us -- we owe you big. Jaemi will be there soon and hopefully the Scheis will descend on your home before Winter arrives... sleep tight on the plane tonight my dear and kiss the girls for me, slap Mark on the a** and rub the belly.
Love you.
Loved my brief Rebecca time too. I'm moving visiting N. Carolina up the priority list. Perhaps a working trip??
ReplyDeleteAhhh... a working trip. You could write it off!
