..moab..

every year, the company that lance gets most of his work through takes their employees on a little getaway. a couple years ago they went to moab, last year fishing in seattle,  you get the idea. well this year, lance happened to be in the office when they were talking about it. lance heard the word, "moab" (a place he's always wanted to go) and said, "moab? what??!" lol nosey little lance. ;) calvin said, "i'm only taken my best subs, you wanna go?" see normally, they don't invite any subs, just the company employees. but i guess lance was in the right place at the right time, because we got invited!

it was a quick trip, but a greatly needed one none-the-less. i've never been away from my kids for more than 24 hours. and even then, the only time i've been away that long was when i was in the hospital (childbirth & appendicitis) and those don't really count. to be honest, i wasn't too nervous or sad to leave. i knew they would be in great hands with grandma (who had some help - or at least company - from uncle zac and shrimp) and i knew they probably wouldn't even miss us. which i'm pretty sure they didn't. ;)

the only time i cried the whole 2 1/2 days was when i called to talk to finn. hearing his sweet, perfect little voice say, "i wuv you mom. i meese you." it doesn't get any sweeter than that, i couldn't help but shed a few tears.

we spent both days in moab jeeping. a mildly majorly terrifying experience, if you ask me. lance, on the other hand, was in complete and utter heaven! i don't think a smile left his face the entire weekend. it was fun getting to know some of the people lance works with (and talks about), and also fun to hang out with calvin, ashley & hayleigh. i think i saw my life flash before my eyes more times than i can count, but it really was a fun thing to experience. lance has always wanted to go jeeping, so we'll just cross that off the ol' bucket list.

it was a fun, and like i said, much needed weekend away, but boy was i happy to see my two little boys again. big thanks to grandma cindy for takin' such good care of them - what would we do without her??
