Anything But Gray

So Ben's first day went fantastic!!
We actually cannot believe how well he did.
He walked in there like he'd been going to school his whole life.
Unbelievable.
I am so, so happy for him and I so hope he keeps on loving it.
We walked him to the class, met the teacher and off he went…no looking back, no wondering if we were there or not….not a care in the world about us. lol.
So we leave and get in the car and I kind of tear up a little….just a little moment of "my babies are both in school….no more babies at home…" and Zak looks at me and says "You okay?" and I tell him "Yeah, just having a moment." And he says "Denny's?" and I say "let's go…."  We both love Denny's and haven't gotten to go since we've been here….

And so for the first time in months, Zak and I went and ate and had a quiet meal. So friggin' wonderful. It's funny how you can be together every day and wind up so busy and so hectic that you actually "miss" each other. I miss working with him and just having adult conversations with him. He's truly my best friend and when we don't get a lot of alone time I wind up missing him….so it was really, really nice to take advantage of the fact both the kids were in school and just go have a nice, quiet conversation. Made me focus on the GOOD part of them being gone to school and not the paniced "oh my god, my kids are growing up." part.

My card reader is still not working on my computer, so I can't post pics….but I will soon!
