Successes
Adam referred to this trip home as a victory lap, and it definitely feels like that. He’s in Nashville right now, and I’m in Chicago, and we’re both having such a good time with our parents and seeing a few friends.
My mom and I have particularly spent a lot of time together, and it has been so good. We’ve had great conversations, we’ve done some old favorite things together (like visiting Grandpa, having lunch at Town House Books, shopping at Geneva Commons, and seeing a chick flick movie), and we’ve done some great new things. We cooked, which we never do together, and made my Grandma’s lasagna recipe. It was fun to work in the kitchen with her, and it tasted delicious. We also got up yesterday morning and worked out at Curves. She has been pretty regular working out, and she has made awesome progress. She looks great. It’s fun to have my mom coaching me on exercise machines.
It has been a good trip, and I’m glad we still have two weeks to go.
