Oh, it’s been a busy day. Savannah and I headed out this morning to take a small day trip to visit my friend/old room mate and her son (Savannah’s boyfriend friend who is 2 weeks younger than her). We were pregnant with our kids at the same time and we both shared the lovely experience of living at a maternity home together. Forever bonded, yes indeed. We ate a wonderful lunch (all child meltdowns aside, thank God for Pacifiers) and went swimming. It was so nice to be around other Moms my age with kids the same age. And ya know, just be around other people in general.

A note on my experience driving in a completely unknown area: Mapquest sucks. Thank God for signs! And cell phones! And great neighbors!

Tomorrow holds another day trip–to the beach! Since Mark and I couldn’t take a “real” vacation this year, we’re going to at least satisfy the beach urge a little bit with a nice day trip with Savannah and my siblings. It should be fun. I hope. A car full of kids, 2.5 hours away from home. I sure hope it goes smoothly.

Last time we were at this beach, Mark and I were fresh newly weds. *insert awing sigh here*
