I can't believe it's already Wednesday! Wooohooo! SO close to Friday + the weekend!
Over this last weekend we didn't do much. Saturday we went to Grandpa's house so Shawn could mow as he does every Saturday. We brought the pug so her and I sat outside in the loverly weather crocheting while Shawn took the mower out.
Halfway through a double crochet cluster, I hear a "BANG BANG" on the window from the inside--Shawn's cousins who will be staying at Grandpa's while he recovers had come over to move in some things.
I love Shawn's cousins and their children so much. His cousins entire family were in our wedding!
I just didn't think I'd have to see any babies or pregnant people that day... it wasn't a good day anyhow so it just made me sad. I didn't say much and I hope they know I wasn't mad or anything--just sad. We talked with them for a bit and went back home.
I cried and cried and cried.
Later in the day we got ready to go back out into Omaha to stop by Shawn's parents' house so he could make a payment on the car he just got for us. We got close to the house and saw Shawn's cousins' vehicle outside. They were visiting, too.
I looked at him and started to cry again.
He said calmly, "Let's go see the lake. We haven't seen it since it reopened."
I nodded and hugged the pug tight.
We got to Lake Zorinksy and the weather was so amazing for a walk with the dog. We all really enjoyed it. We forgot about everything if only for a bit as we watched the sun go down. We waited to leave until the clouds obscured its plunge into the horizon, turning the sky shades of orange, purple and pink. It was so beautiful. I was happy just sitting there with my little family. Everything really was as it should be at that moment; I just let everything go.
We went back to his parents' house and visited Grandpa until he was tired. His mom expressed that we "should have come over earlier" as we left.
Shawn and I just looked at each other and smiled to ourselves.
It had been the perfect time to come over.

I'm so sorry it was a sad day for you, but I'm very glad you were able to let everything go, if only for a short while, down at the lake with Shawn and your puppy. I really love your super cute sunglasses, too! I need to get a pair like that for my trip to Hawaii.
Oh no, I am so sorry that you were sad that day but I am so glad that the afternoon worked out perfectly:) Btw: I adore your sunnies. xoxo
so sorry you had a rough day...it happens and I'm so glad that Shawn knew exactly what you guys needed to do before visiting and just take that time for yourself. That's very special.
I'm so sorry to hear you had a rough time, but your husband sounds so supportive. I love that you're still able to find and appreciate beauty, even when you're down.
P.S. Have you ever checked out hellobee.com? I hear the forums there are really supportive, and they have boards for TTC'ing. I'm sure you could find some friends there who are going through the same thing, if you were interested.
P.P.S. Your pug is so adorable!
:) Darling, thank u so much for sharing this...On a brighter note, wow, that lake must be amazing! Love lakes! xoxo
Funny how 'mother' nature always soothes the soul. :)
Hope your weekend is wonderful.
xo
@Heather, thank you! <3
Watch your mail ;o)
@Diana thanks! :o)
@Laura, thank you. He is awesome like that.
@Morgan, thanks for the tip! Forums for TTC aren't for me but I haven't heard of that one... maybe I'll lurk LOL
Oh Hill :( So sorry you have to deal with being sad about that. When i was told I'd have a difficult time getting pregnant it made me really sad to see pregnant girls(especially those jerks that smoked while pregnant) so i kind of get the feeling. You'll get through this though. :) Even super woman needs her sappy moments. x)
Shawn sounds like an incredible guy! Brownie points to him.
Oliver just happened to be around while i was reading this and your pug made him laugh, haha. Thought you might enjoy that.
