The first and most important reunion in the past couple of weeks was the day that the Hubs came home. And this time, it's for good. I think :) No, really. He really is back to stay, and I have officially resigned as a single mom. Ta-da!! Since he's been back, I've gained 5 pounds, the house is cleaner, and pictures have actually been hung on the walls. About 5 days after he came home, we drove up to Colorado for my 10 year high school reunion. Because nothing says, "Welcome home honey!!" like a 13 hour road trip with 2 toddlers and a cranky pregnant wife.
Aside from the fact that it just feels wrong to be old enough to attend any kind of reuinion, it was so strange being back in my hometown. Strange because so much has changed, and yet, the atmosphere of the town is exactly the same. And I don't miss it at all. Wait, not true. I totally miss some of the food. I don't think I ever stopped eating while I was there. But I don't have any ties to the town anymore. Sure, it's great to see old friends, but the truth is that I probably won't be back there for a very long time. It's strange to "go home" again, when it doesn't feel like I ever really lived there at all. And maybe I didn't. Perhaps I was just staying there for a while before I moved on with my life. So...the trip home was bittersweet, to say the least.
And now?? Now we are living an extremely mundane life. I work, and the Hubs is looking for a job. He's taken over a lot of the day-to-day chores (and I'm not complaining), and we just hang out together. For now we are just taking things one day at a time, and that feels pretty good.
