Mountains

We just returned home from our quick overnight trip to the mountains. Eric's parents bought a small house there last January and have spent the summer restoring it. It sits at the base of a mountain and is surrounded on three sides by beautiful trees. The front yard has a river running through it. It's a peaceful place to visit.

Once you get there.

Just before we left home yesterday, I started feeling really nauseous. I said clearly that I didn't want to go and I didn't feel well at all. Clearly. More proof of the fact I could be invisible because within minutes we were in the van traveling in the pouring rain to the mountains .... which includes 50 minutes of non.stop sharp curves. I thought Eric was trying to kill me.

I spent the entire drive with my head between my knees and staring at the floor board. All while crying and telling Eric I was breaking up with him.

Once we arrived at his parents' house, I made my way to the sofa and spent the next 5 hours there trying to keep the room from spinning. I got up only to make my way upstairs to bed.

Thank heaven I woke this morning to beautiful weather, feeling much better and deciding I wouldn't break up with Eric after all. (Al though he better never make me do that again! - yuck!)

I came downstairs to find E having her quiet time .... outside ..... in her robe and pajamas.


She wanted to sketch a picture of God's beautiful creation. And, it was a beautiful scene this morning!

O wanted to copy her sister and could NOT understand why E wanted time alone.


Why? Because E + O = NO quiet time at all. (Look closely at this picture ... does your quiet time include Strawberry Shortcake? Because O's does :)

O ran full blast the entire time we were there. I don't even think she stopped talking. In fact, I know she didn't because I slept beside her last night and she even talked in her sleep. She is a bundle of energy.We had a great time. I love the mountains so much and always wish we could stay longer.


See .... we're back together :)
