Small towns

I can't believe that two months have passed since I lost posted. Time is just flying by. I have had lots of thoughts at different things that I wanted to blog about, but now they slip my mind. I am getting really good at being forgetful!
So for now I will just post about about a few thoughts.

We went home for Easter this past weekend! I didn't take any pictures except with my phone and I don't know how to put them on here quite yet. So maybe another time. Because we really worked our tails off at our house cleaning up the yard! I need to give us credit with pictures! Anyways....

I love driving home. I love getting lost in thoughts with myself. I believe that I always say this! I took kade and makenna with me on Thursday evening. Rob was coming up the next day. As I was driving I started thinking about how much I love coming back to the small town I was from. I really don't like living in the city. I started thinking about how I just loved driving in the dark. I love when it is dark with no light around except from the moon. That was exactly what it was like. A big bright moon lighting my way home. I was admiring the dark when it stirred up memories of me growing up and laying in my bed at night trying to fall asleep. I would stare out my window at the moon. I was a little taken back at the memory but loved having those feelings all over again. Kirstin and I would stay up late at night talking, sharing stories, listening to the radio, but again in the dark. I prefer that now...just ask my husband. I hate having to fall asleep to the tv blaring and the lights from shows shining. I just don't like it and can never sleep well. My husband is quite the opposite having to fall asleep to the tv. So we do this dance that I have to wake up and turn it all off and then I can peacefully sleep. However the times that my husband does compromise, it still isn't the same darkness as in a small town. You still get the city lights blaring in. Does anyone else know what I am talking about. It just doesn't get dark in the city EVER!

I started thinking of all the things that I missed about a small town as I always do. I am telling you the drives are so relaxing to me! I put on my music and think away. I love that when I come in to town there are not thousands of people driving everywhere. There are only a few people out at night and I love that. I catch myself sometimes thinking where is everyone and what are they doing? Jealous of their slow paced lives. I love that the speed limit is 40 and then 35 then 25 through town. Sometimes i get tired of constantly speeding my life away. I like to drive like a grandma slow and steady! I miss home and am glad that I get to go visit on occasion!

We pulled in to town around 1030. Of course everyone was in their homes. No one was out in the streets. I took a cruise through main checking everything out and then went to my parents who I was staying with. Got everything unloaded, visited with my mom who was waiting for us to arrive and then tucked the little ones to bed. Went in to the room that I always have slept in since I was a child and layed down. It was dark and I liked it! I rolled over and the bright moon was outside my window and I smiled and relieved old feelings and went right to sleep! It was the perfect end to a perfect drive home!
