Memorial Day weekend was a long weekend for me. I had 4 days off of work and decided to tack on an additional day for good measure. We headed out to Mr. Mister’s family cabin for some R & R. Boy did we need it! It was perfect to say the least.
We slept it. Went on hikes. Saw some wild animals. Played at the park. Ate way too much pasta and drank far too much wine. Little Bit was our weekend entertainment and she did not disappoint.
Our final evening, while laying in bed and recapping all that had occurred the past few days, Mr. Mister said “now THIS is what we were waiting for!” I asked him to explain and this was his response…
“Your first semester of law school we kept saying we couldn’t wait until the semester was over so we could take a vacation. After your first year we couldn’t wait until we had Little Bit so all of the chaos, stress, and medical issues were all behind us. After we had her we couldn’t wait until you finished law school. When the end was nearing we were looking forward to you not working and only bar prepping. Once that began all we wanted was for it to end so we could see you immediately after work and you wouldn’t have any homework or have to hide yourself in the office to study.”
“But now that we are here, and I see my parents playing with Little Bit and how happy she is and how relaxed we all are, I didn’t realize it, but THIS is really what we have been waiting for! Just some down time with our family!
I couldn’t agree more! It was nice to step away from the fast city life and just enjoy.
While in school it felt like the end was never in sight. While doing bar prep it felt like the big day would never arrive. Now, here I am looking back on it all and, to be honest, it wasn’t so bad.
