love of local in Utah
every little thing gonna be all right!
So many things I have wanted to blog about lately. But no time! October is the month that I am trying to just get through. No, let me re-phrase that: trying to get through, but ENJOY. It has been full of fun things, just — you know — a bit *too* many fun things that can lead to me feeling overwhelmed. But a good overwhelmed…am I making any sense?
But I did want to blog about something that has been on my mind a lot.
These are my beautiful nieces (along with my girls) who live here in Utah:
I love them. Some of them are moving away. This is the first time I have experienced something that is completely heartbreaking, but wonderful at the same time. Excited for someone to find a new love and start a new life, but completely heartsick in another way that things will never be the same.
Oh I love these little girls — I hope they always know that. Being an aunt is a special thing. I am sure this won’t be the one and only time that I experience this weird feeling of being happy and heartbroken at the same time. Guess I am growing up, huh?
Your baby is the star of that photo, hands down.
And my heart’s breaking just a bit too.
Those girls will be missing out on a pretty awesome Aunt and a world of fun. It will be more of a trial to get together but knowing you, you will. You have blessed them with a wonderful support system and helped in their self-confidence. It isn’t over, just different now.
Forgot to say. Love the picture. All those little girls, all those different personalities, all those sweet smiles, all those precious spirits. I LOVE them ALL.
awwww…
Just saw this post. Now my heart is breaking a little… we’ll still get together. I’m sure we’ll be spending plenty of time makng road trips back to Utah! And if ever you’re up north and want to go on a fishing trip, or enjoy some mouth-watering meals (hint: it won’t be me cooking) you’re more than welcome!!
Those girls are the cutest. But love knows no distance.
