Today was a sad day for me. Nothing bad happened in my life.... I just thought about my family all day. My family is in Florida and I hardly ever see them. I just recently got to take Landon to Florida for the first time in September. I am also going back at the end of October! (Thanks to really cheap plane tickets!) To some this may seem like a lot, but in my mind it's not enough. My mom is my best friend. We talk on the phone almost everyday. I always put our phone calls on speaker so that Landon can hear and recognize her voice. But everyday when we talk it always breaks my heart to hear about everything that goes on "their side of the world." I miss out on everything it seems like....sometimes that is a good thing! I get sad because I want them to be able to know Landon like they do Gracie. I want them to come hang out at our house. I want them to watch Landon for me when I need "me time." (HAHA) In all honesty, I miss my mom. We are best friends and want to include each other in everything. This probably gets on my dad's and Curtis's nerves, but we try to ignore them! Ok, my saga is over...I do love my dad too, but I'm not into hunting so we don't talk as much. I love my parents and I am so grateful for them. I hope Landon thinks of me and Curtis the way I do my parents!

I am glad that you were able to visit your family!
I totally know how you feel...I wish I lived closer to family too! It is especially harder when you have a child because like you said you want Landon to be part of your parent's lives!
I can't believe how much Landon has changed...he looks healthy and alert!
Have a nice week!
Thanks for your comment. Today was much better, I think I just needed to vent and now I'm fine. I feel the same way you do about your mom. I miss my mom everyday, especially when I've had a hard day with Jax. It's hard being a mom without your mom around to help. Oh well, I guess it just makes us stronger or something. We need some alone time, just me and you, no hubbies or babies soon!
Oh, and you are an amazing mom too, so patient and nice. It's fun having you right across the street.
I'm sorry you're feeling sad, Ashton! Hugs! My family is just in Idaho, but I often feel bummed that I miss out on a lot also with them all living so close to each other up there. It stinks sometimes! I love that you're here though - you're a ray of sunshine to us in Utah!!!
It's so hard living away from parents and I can't imagine having a child and being away. Just talk your parents into moving out here because you can't move back there, sorry!
