It was truly magical to be a part of this big day. Congrats to Dan & Holly! 

  From South Dakota visiting my bff, Idianapolis, chicago, portland, this was such a new adventure for us! We took Amtrack all the way home and it was one of the coolest things ever!!  Or maybe it was just that it had been more than 7 years since we last embarked for more than a couple days without the kids. It was like a 6 day long date night. 

warm fall night

I am kinda loving the fact that we are not in any organized sports at the moment. The kids have been running a muck in the neighborhood, we have been eating dinner as a family every night. just chillin.  Ahh... simplicity..too bad juniper is already begging for me to sign her up for softball. Maybe by then, we will be rearing to go, but ... let me tell ya, I think I am on to something here...
