the knot

last weekend we were with zach's brother and his fiance.

this weekend my sisters were in town.

tonight our hearts are aching for texas.

our families are such a gift to us. messy and real and funny, oh so funny.

if you spend time with us, in a matter of three hours

you will probably witness

laughter, a serious conversation, hugs, a couple of fights and more laughter. it's great.

when time spent together is so rare, it is so valued.

Zach's brother is getting married in july

and so it was awesome to spend quality, one on one time with them.

my sisters being here for easter was wonderful.

God knows how to refresh my soul.

after every airport goodbye, i cry

for so long, i was leaving zach there.

and i would go back to my life and have a constant knot in my stomach.

i felt his absence all the time.

this time i did the drop off at the airport, cried

and then looked down at my phone to a perfectly timed text message.

a mini love letter from my Z.

and though i cried and miss them so much, i didn't get the knot.

i am able to have a heart of thankfulness for seeing them and having them in my life.

i can appreciate the time we spent together and look forward to seeing them again.

because now i go home to my husband,

my family.
