change


i can't decide if i like it or not. it's usually a negotiation for me. "ok, i will give you this, if you give me that". i have a hard time with the "that".


the this: one of my best friends Danea, just had the most beautiful baby boy. he is perfect. i am so incredibly happy for them. that little man couldn't ask for better parents. i am so excited to see him and cuddle him.


the that: our relationship is forever changed. a quick trip here to visit me is a lot harder now. pretty much i will have to go there for quite some time. traveling with kids isn't so much fun. i don't mind going there but having her here is great, too. our personalities haven't changed so we will relate to one another the same. i am so thankful for that.


just little changes.


the this: Bailey is driving now. she is so excited to have a car and have some independence. on some level she can come and go as she wants and she loves that. she can meet up with her friends or they can all go together without trying to get a parent to take them.


the that:the above 'come and go as she wants'. we will have final say on things but since she is a good kid that is not going to be a problem. which means she will be gone a lot more. that will be strange. lonely on some level.


just little changes.


peace out.

Hey you. Glad to see your update as I check it daily. It is wierd to have them come and go isnt it? And yet it is so nice not to be running all the time. Look forward to lunch. Talk to you soon. Pam

Ah, you are so sweet. I hear ya though. I get bummed when I think about not just wisking up there for a few days. It'll happen though. We'll make it work. At least it's a direct flight right.
