So... the older kids babysat and we took off for a quick trip over and back. I'm still not too comfortable leaving Pace for TOO long. We left Tuesday morning and got back Wednesday evening.
On the way, we stopped at this hot springs that was just off of the road before Carey, Idaho. You can't see it from the road, but it's really close:
It was SO fun to try out this hot springs....but a little scary changing into and out of our swim suits -in our car - right beside the road- in between cars going by:) Yes indeedy - it was very exciting!
When we got to Boise we headed straight to the temple to finish up some names that I have been working on for a YEAR. I have been needing to get the sealings done, but have wanted Shawn to come with me! We have mostly gone at separate times for the entire time that he has had this job. He goes when he's away from the family, and I go when he is gone, too, so that when we are all home we can all be HOME. It was so great to go together!! And to do sealings in the temple where we got married:
We ate at good restaurants, and stayed up late watching new-to-us episodes of Perry Mason. (We like old shows like that). Shawn closed up his job with his old boss the next day, and then we headed home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time together; it was great to talk non-stop without interruptions...but our trip was plenty long enough, because we always start to miss the kids. It seemed like we had been gone forever! When we walked in the door, Pace melted my heart by calling me "mama" for the first time in his little life. (He's had "dada" down for several weeks now). The kids said that he roamed the house from time-to-time calling for me while I was gone:)

It was fun to be the parent that was gone and missed instead of the spouse left behind, missing her husband!!
Yeah! We were just mentioning last night that are slightly jealous of your new business and that you got to get away for a bit.
