...yeah yeah yeah, but it's still hard! Ben and I have been separated now for a month. We're biting our nails waiting for him to report to Fort Meade on August 14th. I have been at my job for a month now and am just staying busy to pass the time. Being by family is such a blessing. I made it just in time for our Taylor Family Reunion at our cabin in Strawberry. Here are some pictures from the weekend. It was themed around Red, White & Blue for July 4th.
What is this guy doing in the picture you ask? My crazy, loving, self-less husband drove our Xterra out from Maryland to Arizona non-stop and SURPRISED me! And everyone else, might I add. He wanted me to have our car even though our plan was for me to just bum rides with family. He left on a Wednesday night after work and got here Friday morning. He was able to spend the weekend with us at the cabin after I had prepared to be husband-less. It was amazing.
The weekend at the cabin was perfect. We got some rain and were able to hike down to Fossil Springs as a family. I think we all ate our weight in otter-pops. We had family pictures with our over-sized t-shirts (love ya, Mom) and had some friendly target shooting games. Each night we had a devotional and sang songs, while my parents took turns telling us stories about their parents and grand-parents. It was awesome and made me want to read more about them. I hope I can be diligent and keep a record of my life and my parent's lives for my children to read about.
My Grandpa Taylor was a Doctor and believed in being ready for anything. He made stuff out of leather and had this "ready bag" with everything from a bandaid to a small hand gun.
