severn

we just got back from fair havens with my family. it went well for the most part. it's both a very foreign and awkward atmosphere AND a nice campground. having brendan there helped balance out the lesley vs the nuclear family environment. i realized that part of my frustration being there is the feeling of tagging along on someone else's vacation. at least with b, we could get ice cream when we felt like it and not when everyone decided it was ice cream time. we had a really good time with the kids, and i felt that i especially bonded with liam and erin, which is good because i've been feeling like they're the two who are the least familiar with me. i read with the kids a lot – captain underpants and dora the explorer. and liam and i were partners for clue because we both really like colonel mustard. fun times!

my mom said before we left today "it's nice seeing you both so happy together". i'm surprised that that's noteworthy, but i suppose that when people don't see us together, all couply, very often it's more noticeable. we do really like each other's company :)

on saturday, before leaving i remembered that i was on my last pair of contacts and called my dad to arrange a time for us to go to costco to get a new box so i can take a spare pair with me to costa rica. then today... when i tried to put them in, some lotion or something was on my hands which made my eye all red and stingy and now my last remaining pair is no longer useable :S thankfully i'm getting some new ones tomorrow.

now that our last road trip is behind us we can start thinking towards costa rica. we're leaving on thursday! crazy! i'm so glad that we're going now and not waiting til the end of august. yay!
