Oh My Goodness, I Love Maine


And I want to go back. NOW.

Last week, while we were back East visiting the In-Laws, I took three days for a Mommy-holiday and went by myself to visit Say in her homestate. I had to do some boyfriend recon, so it was very convenient. I'm happy to say, she's carved out quite the life up there, and I hope that maybe someday soon, we'll be closer so that I can see her and visit this amazing place more often.

Some highlights:
-The monstah lobstah we had at Say's family homestead.
- A day out on Boyfriend's boat.
- Shopping and lighthouses in Portland.

I missed baby E enormously. In fact, it actually hurt me physically to leave her. However, a few days off gives one some perspective- and I feel more like a person now than I did before. I was slipping into too much of a "I'm a mom and that's all I am." mode. Bittersweet, also, was realizing just how very much I miss my best friend, and wish she could be part of my everyday life. Fingers are crossed that this may happen soon.
