It's funny how a vacation transports you both mentally and physically. While in Mexico, Eric and I lounged in bed sometimes till (gasp) 10am! Ate wonderful gourmet breakfasts, then lounged in the pool or at the beach, all the while being waited on by attentive staff members....we'd take afternoon naps, dress for dinner and then chat with other couples till the wee hours and do it all over again the next day....
Now that we've returned home we realize why we all take vacations in the first place. I look around and see all of the things we were SUPPOSED to do in the few days we had at home before returning to work. I sigh, realizing that I'm still surrounded by rebate forms I havent completed, laundry that needs to be put away, two dogs that probably need a bath, mail that should be sorted and all sorts of other REAL world things. One of those things is a presentation for work that is looming over me and I just cant bring myself to do it.
But these few days at home together also provided another real world rest for us. Newly wedded we took this time to snuggle on the couch, watch our lil sweet Ginger stalk squirrels and all sorts of animals in our yard (right now she's laying under the computer desk - she makes a wonderful foot warmer) while our larger yet more fearful Morgen stayed inside with her daddy and watched Ginger from the screen door. We made plans and lists but most of all we just lived. These past few days with Eric were better than the honeymoon in someways because we returned to our 'real life' and isnt that what we've been waiting for?
