I really miss being near my extended family. 😓😓
This reality hit me hard this week, especially with Greg working late most nights (tonight until 10 pm, and he has to go back in tomorrow by 6 am!!). 😳😳
It's not easy. Many of you know what I'm talking about.😁😁
My awesome MIL texted this to me tonight: "Thank God for your wonderful friends. They become family when you don't have family nearby." This couldn't be more true for us.💗💗
Tonight I am especially grateful for one family in particular. In addition to always being there for us (physically and mentally), they are amazing hosts and go out of their way to make us feel comfortable and loved. Take tonight, for example. They both knew Greg wouldn't be home until really late, so they invited the boys and me over for a delicious dinner and playdate, even asking what kind of cut of steak I preferred ahead of time. #ridiculouslyawesomehosts 🍽🍽
It was a wonderful evening and always fun to see our sons playing together. Jay even brought Andrew (his 2.5 year old son's) baby swing upstairs for Daniel to enjoy. This allowed me to eat dinner in peace and get some time for real adult conversation and laughter. #justwhatineeded🍷
Amanda and Jay are truly incredible, and I am so blessed that our sons brought us into one another's lives. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Tonight and every day, treasure the friends you have who are like family, regardless of how far away they may be. Especially in parenthood, they can be our lifelines and saving graces.🙏🏻🙏🏻
So, here's s virtual toast to Amanda, Jay, and all similarly awesome friends! Thanks for keeping us happy -- and sane -- on a daily basis! We couldn't do any of this without you. 💞💞💞
