First, I'll start by honoring the bride. Terri is easily in the top 5 of the best human beings I've met in my life. She is just a truly genuine, caring, good person, and I couldn't have been happier to share her special day with her. The icing on the wedding cake was that I got to celebrate with some of my other favorite people who live much too far away (Joan and Kristen--you were bridesmaid beauties!), as well as some that live very close, but we never seem to connect. Kisses to you all!
While hanging with friends was great, Mark and I also really enjoyed some "us" time on Saturday. We had a leisurely day strolling the beach, scarfing lobster rolls, and just enjoying each others' company. Of course the little ones crept into the conversation frequently, but it was incredibly gratifying to have a series of uninterrupted conversations (even if they were about the kids) and long periods of quiet and just being together and taking in the beautiful scenery. Aaah! Talk about rejuvenation.
Dad and Sharon held their own back on the home front with Nick and Elaine (although they seemed just a tad eager to get on the road Sunday). And as much as I enjoyed our little break, I couldn't get to Elaine fast enough when the cab dropped us off on Sunday. I left Mark in the dust to deal with the driver and bags. She was already waiting for us at the glass door, smiling and jumping up and down. I threw open the door, scooped her in my arms, and with a big smile she shouted "Hi, Mommy! I'm poopy!"
Vacation over.
