P365 - 2015 - Day 208 - "hey we are in your neck of the woods.."
Today The Bear had a game in North Jersey... a two hour drive... My Wonderful Husband's "quick conference trip" became a bit... less quick... with him getting stuck in Dallas overnight. So that meant that the kids and I were on our own for the two hour drive today. With my three and an a teammate along with us, we were a full car and ready for a road trip.... there was lots of loud music, silliness, and laughing on the way there and back. But the really cool thing about the day... besides an amazing goal by The Bear and a win for his team... was the fact that we were nearby to friends and family and had several visitors during the game. My cousin and her family came to root on The Bear and his team. While I didn't get a photo of all of them, I did get a photo of her sweet wee one with The Princess and The Boy hanging on the sideline. A friend of mine stopped by with her daughter too and My sister in law and niece also came by to show their support. As it turned out, while My Wonderful Husband was stuck in Dallas, my sister in law had actually flown in from Texas for the weekend. The one thing I hated about living away was never being close by to anyone to say "hey we are in your neck of the woods.." . We never had family at any events.ever. So to be back in NJ and have family and friends that show up when we are nearby is a nice feeling and one I am thankful for. Add to that the fact that it was about 85 degrees and sunny and today was fairly perfect. Even with four hours of driving....
