Away

We went up to Idaho Falls this past weekend and left the kids with Taylor's parents --you know, just to get AWAY. I don't think I realized how much we needed to do that, until we did it. I have all these conflicting feelings about things like that--like all last week I was looking forward to it and thinking how nice it would be to just have a day where my schedule does not depend on or include all the daily jobs that come with being a mom, but then I always feel sad when it actually comes down to leaving Anna and Max. It think, though, that it is a very good feeling to miss them so much, because after just that short week, I am feeling very much more able to be patient with them and excited about all the little things we do together. It was also so wonderful to have Taylor all to myself (We said goodbye to his laptop when we left Lehi, Utah.) I am grateful to have a very hard working husband, but I am also grateful he knows how to take a vacation.
So while we were away, Taylor and I took a drive in search of cool pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.
