And it’s not that bad. The two folks? My nieces. Snore like men with heavy drinking habits. I’m watching Boyhood – which is a great movie – which I picked – and the girls so graciously wanted to watch with me and soon passed out. Loved the movie, girls.. not so much.
I am absolutely in love with these girls – but they do snore like no tomorrow – and these are the folks I’m sandwiched in-between. I know, LUCKY ME.
I’m in Utah, with my family, working on a family matter that required my attention. I have to go back to work in 24 hours…. I’ve so enjoyed my time with family that it’s hard to think about going back to work. I’m desperate to sell my condo and buy myself a duplex so I can visit more often at a reduced cost… It will happen, it’s only a few years away.
Life has a way of unfolding in a way that you never expected. My life is no different – I never imagined not having kids… but it happened that way. I think about this “life choice” every day. But when I’m with my nieces I do not – I can’t imagine a different life. I love them more than the whole world, I would give up everything if it would guarantee their safety … I can’t imagine loving people more than I love my niece and her babes.
Maybe there is more love in store for me in my life – but I honestly can’t imagine it. I am open to it, but when I’m here in Utah, I can’t imagine a better life for me. Sandwiched between my favorite girls on the planet. Love at it’s finest – snoring and all.
