I'm an Aunt & a Trip to Oregon

I recently took a trip back to Oregon. My sister gave birth to her son and I HAD to make the trip to see my first Nephew!! He is such a doll!!!

 This is sweet little Izeyah Lamar.

While there I was able to see our old friends.  This was the 1st time since moving away over 7 years ago that I really enjoyed being there and didn't want to leave.  I am not sure the exact reason, but there may have been many!

I have to admit it was a nice treat to be "free" for 5 days.  I've been a mom for so long it was hard to know what to do with myself without school schedules and a long to do list!  :o)  I actually forgot to eat a few times, because without having to concentrate on anyone else, I just didn't remember!  lol

Not only was I able to see people I hadn't in years, I was able to do things on a whim, like going to the opening of a movie and taking a trip up a mountain to see the scenery and shoot guns.  I could have stayed up on that mountain all day!!  It was brisk and beautiful.  I sorely miss seeing and experiencing fall every year!!  

While leaving my sister and family and friends was hard, I belong here with my husband and babies!  But I will tell you, I am ready to go back!  :o)
