weekend in a nutshell

finished finals, finished cleaning, finished packing.
DI run, Walmart run, check out.
dropped off Cazz,
be good little car, i'll miss you!

good music blasting, getting on the road.
Geoff singing his missionary version of Forever
"REPENT!"
Brother is such a goof.

UTAH! Aunt Marla and Uncle Steve. Kindest people you will ever meet.
warm taco soup.
home made meals for the first time in ages.
happy tummy.

Hopping on the Trax
laughing, trading stories, understanding.
intoxicated Santas...Jesus?
Temple Square adventures and pictures. So beautiful!

"That guy has good Abs...you should marry him."

checking into our flights.
"are the kids in bed?"
sharing our stories, reading, believing, understanding.
saying prayers, tucked in, lights out.

I think I've found a real friend this time.

Flight cancelled. Nor'Easter. of course.
Pick up Julianna. Bye Bye Geoff.
Pianos and duets and Lucky Charms
My best friend makes everything better.

Airport time!
FIRST CLASS!
reclining chairs, free movies, giggling, THEY KNOW OUR NAMES?
we could be jet-setters.

Georgia. Dunkin Donuts.
waiting at the gate, Patriots playing
Boston Accents.
almost home.

NEW ENGLAND!
Logan Airport. out of the gates.
HI DADDY!

driving through Boston.
ZAKIM BRIDGE! BUNKER HILL MONUMENT!
music. daddy. smelly shoes.
almost home.

HAMPSTEAD! HOUSE!
MOM! SISTERS!
KITTIES!
so happy, so content.

I am a New England girl.
