Minnesota

I’m back. Actually, I’ve been back for 3 days now, but the first day I was so jet lagged that just trying to stay awake was difficult, and the other two days I was busy playing with the kids and catching up on house stuff and university work.

Hannah had all these plans of fun things to do with Aaron while I was away, but she was sick almost the entire time. The first night I arrived and FaceTimed (video chat on the iPhone) with them, I could tell just by looking that she wasn’t well. She only ended up being able to do one thing from her list. Then when she started feeling better, Aaron got sick. And then when he started feeling better, Daniel got sick. Someone was sick the whole time I was gone.

Lucky for me, I didn’t get sick. I was able to savour every moment there. I sat at the breakfast bar in Jennifer’s house when I ate my breakfast, reading something or watching something on my iPad whilst enjoying a whole cup of tea. Jennifer and I were able to take our time when we went shopping and not have to worry about kids running off, having tantrums, or anything of the like. We got to hang out, talk, watch movies, and make wedding decorations without interruption.

But I missed them so much. I wanted to reach through the phone and give them a cuddle every time I saw them.

I had a great time in Minnesota, catching up with Jennifer, whom I haven’t seen in almost 5 years, and seeing my mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, two of my aunts, and even Jennifer’s dad, whom I haven’t seen since I was about 12 years old.

Jennifer’s wedding was absolutely beautiful. Her dress was the probably the prettiest wedding dress I’ve ever seen, and the reception looked stunning, but more importantly, was very fun. I danced for about 4 hours and clocked up over 20,000 steps on my fitbit, the most I’ve ever done in a single day.

Now I need to get over my jet lag, catch up on my uni work, finish unpacking and try to make a whole raised garden bed before it’s too late for spring planting. I don’t think that last one will happen in time, but I can hope.

Oh, and if you’re like me, and get constipated when you’re travelling, or away from home, I have found the cure! On my third day over there, I went for a morning run with Jennifer. usually my short runs are at least 3 kilometers, but I had to walk and squeeze after only 1k so I didn’t poop myself. I went for another run the next morning and from there on out, I was fine.
