Marriage, Diapers and other Wonders

I can harldy believe that I am typing this post from my parents house in Thunder Bay. For those of you who didn't know, I made a very quick decision to catch a ride to Thunder Bay with some friends that were coming to go hunting with my dad. We decided on Monday that I would come and we left on Wednesday evening at 5:00. I'm glad I only had that much time to prepare because I'm not sure I could have done it if I would have had weeks to think about it. I hard and awful time just thinking about leaving Jeremy. We've never been apart for even close to this amount of time before (10 days) I was also very worried about how Isaiah would do for a 22 hour trip. Even with these fears I decided that it would be worth it to be able to surprise my parents.

It was VERY hard to say goodbye to Jeremy. I wish so badly that he was here to experience all of this with me. Thank goodness for phones and email! The decision to make this trip and now actually being apart has made me realize just how much I really love him and how much I appreciate him. Before I was married I probably wouldn't have thought that being apart for awhile would be that hard. I have sure chaned in the last 2 1/2 year!!

Isaiah did wondefully on the trip. I know there were lots of people praying. (thank you!) He slept a lot and played with a toys and ate Cheerioes and fruit snacks that my aunt sent from him. Thanks Audrey! He did start to get a little buggy about 3 hours from TB. Amazingly right about that time the service engen light came on in the van and we had to pull over to check it out. Thankfully it wasn't anything serious, but while they were checking it out I let Isaiah crawl aroud outside for a couple minutes. When I put him back in his seat he was able to soon fall asleep. I was very proud of him to say the least.

Of course the best part of the trip was getting here and seeing my parents reaction. Did I mention that they didn't know we were coming?? My mom wasn't home, but my dad was in the back yard. I think he almost cried when he say us. :) I wish I had a video of my mom's reaction. I was sitting on the couch with Isaiah when she walked in the door. She was talking to everyone else for a few seconds before she noticed us. She sreamed and then cried. (I think we all cried!) I don't think I could have asked for a better responce.

The guys left this morning for their hunting trip. Three of the wives came along we're going to spend the week relaxing. I will try to post updates often. Doesn't anyone know how to post pictures when you're away from your home computes?

I need to get off and get on with my day. Isaiah is supposed to be taking a nap, but I can here him in the next room playing so I'd better go check on him.

Sorry for the long post! thanks for reading. :)
