Quiet weekend

So when we moved to Jersey, I figured I'd be more comfortable with everything. It is where I grew up. Where I always returned. So now that I'm here, it is amazing how perfect my life feels. I have close friends and family I can call on a whim. I have people I can call in the middle of the day for a playdate or a coffee. I have friends I can not call for two months, then call and it picks up like yesterday. It is so right for me.

But I wonder if it is really as comfortable for Chris as it is for me. He went mountain biking this weekend and I know he is enjoying the time away. I haven't been away from Vail for more than 12 hours ever. Not once. I spent one night supervising a lock-in for my job, and I left at nine and returened at 8am. I have never had a night or a weekend away. I know that this time always does Chris some good. He comes back relaxed and happy. I wonder what a night or two away would do for me. Would I worry the whole time that I was gone? No, I trust Chris with Vail completely. What on earth would I do with myself when I was goign to bed? Would I be able to sleep through the night. I have a feeling that I could check into a hotel and hit the bed by eight pm and sleep until eight the next day. No problem. Who knows.

Vail seems more comfortable with my Mom now more than ever. I can drop her off there, like I did today to go to work, and they have just the best time. She said to me tongiht at bedtime that she had so much fun going to the playground today with Marmee and going out to dinner tonight (to the Chinese Buffet with Marmee and me). How sweet. My Mom is a huge part of Vail's life now. I never had that with my grandparents. Chris never had that with his grandparents. I lways wanted to give this to my children. It just seems so perfect that we are here.

I hope it seems that way for everyone.
