Life

I saw a sign that said "there is no place lie Nebraska" and all I thought was: THANK GOODNESS.

Last week driving around Nebraska, rather boring. I find it funny that the 2 largest cities in this town are on the borders- an hour further you would be in another state.
But, I have also realized that Lincoln is not the worst place to live.
No, certainly not.

Also, I love what my husband does. It let us be outside- it makes us be active- it gives us a lifestyle we want. And I love it.
It causes us to always learn and be aware, and to meet the most interesting people.
And that just makes it all worth it.

How to make a bad day good.

This last week has been a bit crazy and a lot of EXHAUSTING.

A week ago our fuel pump went out. And had to rely on others for transportation, plus deal with fixing a car-never fun.

Then Joe ended up having a last minute research trip to his fields all across the state this week (his spring break). And since his brother drove a car out to us and was here for a week, we decided to take advantage of the situation and have his brother dog/house sit for us while Sariah and I accompanied Joe.

And oh, I am SO glad we did.
Sariah and I got to hang out with Joe and chill out in a hotel for three days, swimming and watching tv (we miss cable).
We got back home Fri afternoon, exhausted. Driving 400 miles with a toddler is not easy. And then coming home, pregnant, to a visitor in your house- just somehow didn't help.
Plus, the next day we were leaving to drive another 220+ miles to visit family in Iowa. It was exhausting. And I wanted to cry.

But then Joe and his brother went to the store. And when he came back, he made this pregnant lady feel a LOT better :) (with the help of family).

-flowers. YELLOW flowers
-chocolate
-Easter package from family (and who can't help but love Sariahs new dress or things for her to play with?!?)
-The Hobbit

Day=made.
