Getting ready to head home

It has been a long time since I have put a up a post. Not entirely sure why I have waited so long to write but I thought since I am up so early I should get it done. I am currently sitting in the guest/speaker house here in Arvada, CO for the YWAM Denver base. I arrived with a friend of mine Wednesday evening after a two day trip with our kids. The kids did pretty well considering we had a two day trip. We had to take beaks ever 2-3 hours so that I could get out and walk around to get my legs moving as I have a bulging belly now.
On Tuesday when we left we kind of got off track for a few hours. But we had great traveling on Wednesday then. On Thursday we just kind of lounged around the condo here for a while and then we went on a walk over to the base and let the kids play at the park. We also had good times with our old pastor's wife that evening by going out for dinner and then walking around at this massive mall called Flat Irons Mall. It was a great time. On Friday we participated in a worship service at the base and then headed up the moutian to the YWAM Denver base called Eagle Rock. It is so beautiful up there. We then came back and watched a movie with another friend from my former DTS. On Saturday we headed to downtown Denver to take in the 16th street mall. We walked and we walked and we walked. Need I say more? Sunday we went to a church service with the friend we spent our time with on Saturday and then came home and packed up the car to get ready to leave this morning.
I wasn't suppose to be up for another half hour but I couldn't sleep. I have been away from my husband for almost a week. I have never been away from him for so long since we have been married. I am so ready to go home and be reunited with him. It will be a great thing.
While our time here has been great and relaxing, it has also been busy and overwhelming. The kids decided that obeying only mommy's this week was going to be a challenge. They both gave us a really hard time but also had times of playing really well together. I think my friend and I are both ready to have help on the part of taking care of our kiddos. We love them but after having them for almost a week alone, it is time to see some daddys.
So today about an hour or so from now starts our adventure home. I look forward to going home but I don't know that I look forward to the 20 hour drive that is ahead.
