THIS WEEK’S ROSE AND THORN

Happy Friday! I am ready for this weekend. We’re having dinner with Will’s college crew in the city tonight and seeing Footloose at my high school on Saturday night (four of the seven ABC girls my parents take care of are starring in the play!). I played a lot of catch-up after last week’s travel and made two trips into the city for lunch/dinner with friends and a meeting this afternoon. I’m excited to just be at home, tidy the house (does this make me sound old?), set up my new camera, and basically just feel like our lives are back in order.

This week’s rose was spending lots of time with my parents. I decided to sleep at their house while Will was out of town for work this week (see below) and with the snowstorm I wound up staying for three full days! It was a fun change from my usual routine and I know I’m biased but my parents are pretty much the coolest people in the world. I feel so lucky to have them ten minutes away!

This week’s thorn was that Will and I have been on two totally opposite schedules since our trip to the Dominican Republic two weekends ago. Right after our trip together, I went on an action-packed five-day trip, then he went on a three-day work trip (made longer by the aforementioned snow), and it feels like we’ve scarcely had a minute together in the past ten days (ahem, maybe I’m feeling it a little extra because my love language is quality time?). We’re both busy with work we’re really excited about, so I know this is a champagne problem, but sometimes I just want to hang at home and do nothing together. Weekend, here we come. 🙂 I hope you all have a great one!
