Hard to Say Goodbye

For the last five months the Husband and I have been living apart.

I started my second year of teaching & started my graduate program.

The husband transferred to Southern Utah to finish up his Bachelors degree.

So I live with his family

&

He lives with mine & Elsie Lou.

It makes for plenty of fun filled weekends, but pretty sad & lonely week days.

For winter break we were able to spend three weeks together. The longest amount of time since the move & it was wonderful. We mostly relaxed & did absolutely nothing, which was great. I am pretty sure I got ready about two days out of that entire time!

Here are a few things we were up to:

Christmas Eve pajamas with my two Conradi Sisters

 Conradi ladies

 Conradi men

 My Mom gave her children their childhood journals for christmas. Best. Gift. Ever.

 Baby sister is getting married & asked me to be her Matron of Honor.

 Played in the snow with the fambamily.

 Four best friends.

 We saw Les Miserables.

 I crafted for baby sister's wedding.

 We played countless amounts of Monopoly.

 Snuggled with these four.

 Made a dream book with the Husband.

 Snuggled with Elsie Lou.

Sat by the fire. Every single night.

We had a wonderful Holiday Season together & with our wonderful families.
We are so lucky to have the families that we do & we love them all SO much.
The Holiday Season just wouldn't be the same without any of them.

Now, I am about to board the plane to go back home, which means I have to say goodbye to the Husband, family & Elsie Lou.

I really hate this part.

Back to reality I go.
