Just got back from a WONDERFUL trip to Utah
 to see my sweet family and beautiful friends.
I left Ben and the kiddos at home. It felt weird at first because it had been so long since I had traveled without them.
 Then it felt GREAT!
 I was able to play with my friends, granny, dad, and siblings, giving them my full attention. Back home Ben really got to be MOM/DAD for 5 full days by himself. Of course he did FABULOUS, and truly experienced how organized, present, self-less, full of love, and PATIENT one has to be to parent the way his heart desires to.
It's good to go- and then it is good to come home and have everyone experience just how much we all really appreciate,cherish, and LOVE each other, and with one of us gone- IT JUST WON'T DO!
 I had a blast visiting with my Utah family feeling right and home. And I LOVE being home in New Mexico with MY little family.
 I feel SO SO grateful to have such BEAUTIFUL people
 in my life called family!
THERE IS NOT PLACE LIKE HOME!!
