The Days We'll Talk About

For most of my life I remember my family talking about all the fun things they did when I was a baby or before I was born. I always thought "Hey! Why'd all the fun stop when I came along?" Of course now I'm older and understand why such activities are not as easy to pull off with an elementary aged kid. I also hope to beat that and continue vacationing etc. when the time comes for us. But- I know that these are the days we will talk about. This past weekend we went to a lake house with Joe's whole family and next weekend we are heading to a river house as a whole family. It's a real blessing to get to spend so much time together, and I'm way more appreciative of it with our upcoming move in October. I thought about my future husband A LOT growing up, but I don't think I ever thought about my future in-laws or extended family. Well- I have to say I think I hit the jack pot.

Another highlight of this weekend was spending Friday with my cousin Peter's family. As I've mentioned before I didn't have siblings growing up, so my cousins pretty much fulfilled that role in my life.
