home again

I've started this post in my head so many times, so so many times. Isn't it funny how it always sounds much better when you are thinking about what to write? when it is actually time to write you can't think how to start or what to really write about. Ha! or perhaps it is just me.

The past few weeks have been crazy! crazy busy and just plain old crazy. There was so much going on and so many things that needed to be done. Just thinking about it now it is hard to remember all that occurred during those weeks. That is how crazy it got! But our son arrived safely to his new home up north and although the days seem like a big blur one thing is clear, he has left and it was hard times around here for me. I know he was super duper excited to leave, to experience independence and all of that but I couldn't help but wish he had stayed little just a little longer. But he has a few things to learn that can only be learnt while away from home. It is hard to let go of their hands when you were the one who has always been holding it for so long :( But he is well and eating (according to him) so I am happy.

It was a long drive up, crazy long but it was divided over two days so thankfully didn't feel too bad. The views were spectacular and it is a shame you can't drive and take photos at the same time. The above shots were taken driving through various parts and also during my week while at my sisters to keep myself busy and the last one was taken minutes before I left.

It feels good to get back home though after days away from your other children, I missed them like crazy PLUS missed out on celebrating my youngest boys birthday. Something that will be fixed this weekend :) Next week uni starts and I am eager to finally start. Cannot believe I made it to my last year. Wish me luck!
