spur of the moment

friday afternoon (2:30pm to be exact)
 of labor day weekend
i was online and saw a link
"last minute labor day weekend getaways!"
my conversation with jared went as followed:
B: look jared last minute weekend getaways. let's go!
J: go where?
B: rexburg?
J: i was just thinking that like an hour ago.
B: and you didnt SAY ANYTHING?

long story short, an hour later, we were on
the road and heading south to idaho falls.
we called jared's parents as we passed through
Coeur d' alene to let them know if they heard someone coming
into their house at 1 in the morning, it was just us.
his mom's response, "you're coming back already?!"
yup we sure were!


 you see, carissa just had a baby, exactly 1 week after 
we moved.
and i was literally DYING to go and see this new dude.
and i was having a big pitty party about being all
the way up here in dumb moscow.
when i could be there holding that sweet new babe.


 and so we decided what better weekend to go then now?
it was perfect, because my parents were there visiting as well.
we didnt tell them we were coming though.
and we sure did surprise the heck outta them!
it. was. perfect.




parker was able to ride the last 2 rides of the season on the carousel

and he had lots of fun playing with cousin charlee
and for some strange reason, he thought the ipad was much more fun than the baby

it's way more fun to be the aunt then the mom.
i even caught his first smile on camera.
 although it was a very very quick trip,
it was a wonderful weekend full of snuggles with 
baby kyler. he is so precious.
and so stinkin cute.
(my apologies to everyone for hogging him all weekend.)

it was just what i needed to help change my bad
attitude about mosocw.
parker and i have even had a play date since we've been back.
and we scheduled another one for next week.

and though im still bummed we dont live around the corner
from kyle and carissa anymore,
im starting to come to terms with it.
(and praying we end up as neighbors again)
-whether they wanna be my neighbor or not-
