Arizona and Jenny

Well...  It has been almost 3 weeks since Jenny moved in.  There have been some rough days, but overall it is going pretty good.  It is definitely different.  But she is a good roommate and it is fun to have the kids around so much (although sometimes I pretend I am going to bed when I am not really, just so I can have a few minutes of peace).  Actually, that has been one of the most difficult things for me--Jenny lets her kids stay up usually until she goes to bed.  Some nights that is 10:30, some nights its 2:00.  We are findng balance between letting Jenny be the parent and helping her parent...its crazy some of the things she does/doesn't do.  She does clean a lot.  The house is almost always spotless when I get home from work, which is really really cool.  We are all learning.

I went to Arizona for 5 days.  It wasn't much of a vacation, but I went in knowing that.  I did a lot of unpacking/cleaning for Gram & Papa and they were grateful. My Papa just amazes me.  I did get to see one of my dearest friends, Rani.  I spent a very sweet day with her and her kids.  And on Monday I spent a couple hours just reading and relaxing in the sun.  It was my last day there and it was so nice.  It was the longest Stony and I have been apart since we starting dating seriously--it was kinda tough.  My mom talked to him when he was on his way to the airport and apologized for "taking her away so long and bringing Brit to Arizona without you and ."  He said, "That's okay, I know it was good for her to be there...but it won't happen again."  =)  Now I am just anxiously awaiting the weekend so we can spend some time together.
