Landed

So this weekend was pretty busy. We had Jill's parents visit over the weekend. My one day off on Saturday, it rained all day so that was of course absolutely amazing right? Poor Remi (our dog) spent the storm trying to find a good hiding place. Today, they headed back home, which of course made Jill cry. She always tears up when they leave. Even though I was at work before they left, I knew on my drive to work it would be a tearful goodbye. Every time we either leave for WI, or see them head back to IL, It's always a hard goodbye, and every time I always feel bad for my wife. After college, she stuck got hired full time in Wisconsin instead of going back home and of course, we moved in together. I sometimes wonder if it would have been better to have moved to Illinois so she could be closer with her family...but she reassures me that she is quite happier in Wisconsin and doesn't regret the decision on staying here. I defiantly love being close to my family, but I think I could have lived with living 2 1/2 hours away. It would have been tough for my parents being far from Mia, but I know it's tough for Jill's parents as well. They have told me in 5 years, they'd like to move up here, which would be great. They are without a doubt, some of the nicest people I've ever met. Her Dad let me marry is only daughter for crying out loud! Her brother is a witty, creative and a caring guy that I will always treat as another brother. Of course her mother gives unconditional love and support only a mother could.

My parents came over today for a Labor Day brunch we kinda threw together. I always love it when they're all here in one place; getting the chance to hang with Mia and visit. Well, enough of all that seriousness for now. Fall seems to be coming quicker then usual. Which means that dreaded Winter will be here before we know it. Good grief.
