Lakin’

We are at the lake!!! I couldn’t be happier!

After a bit of a tearful ride thanks to my two little backseat drivers, we arrived around noon. We couldn’t get into our room until 3:00, so we played on the beach, blew bubbles, and drove aimlessly while the kids napped. When we got to our room finally, I felt refreshed immediately. We have a HUGE condo! It had a big entrance with a full kitchen and a living room with futon, two puffy chairs, and a tv. Then upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The whole place is clean and welcoming and just exactly where I want to be. Of course, I would love it if Brady were along, but I think he and I need to miss each other for a bit. Don’t you think, love? It’ll be good. And my mom and I neeeeed a holiday. I’m so happy we’re here!

We ordered in big chunky salads for supper so we can justify snacking this evening. Apart from forgetting their blankets and Dekker’s pillow, the kids fell asleep almost immediately, without issue. Soon, there will be some bad food and a movie, and I just can’t wait.

I’ve come to some realizations recently that I’ll talk more about soon, but being here is just warm and fuzzy to me. I feel more at home here than I do in my house. No, not being without Brady. He isn’t my problem one bit <3 I just feel a different comfort here than I do in my house in my town. This is clearer air somehow. This is where I’ve needed to be the past two years.

The lake. I love the lake.

Danishes and sticky buns for breakfast tomorrow!
