usually

in most cases silence doesn't necessarily mean somethings wrong. in this case, it is the truth.

i'm not even sure i can fully - or even try - express why. it was a lot of things.

as i type, i type from vancouver. grandma called on tuesday afternoon and suggested that the kids and i fly to vancouver since we had a friend from portland out who could help us get there. i didn't even consider it because i didn't have the energy to even try. but matt and courtney helped me get there.

at 6pm on tuesday we decided to go, at 6am on wednesday morning we were all on our way to two different airports to meet up on the other side of the country.

we have been sick, exhausted and so run down. we haven't left the house since we got here. sleep is the priority and we're all starting to feel a bit better.

we're thankful for family, to get us here and to sustain us while we're here. daddy is home, getting sleep and trying to finish the semester strong. hopefully when we meet up again we'll all be in a different place.
