I'd love to hang out around the grill in your backyard and play with Liam! It'd be great if you guys could come and see the farm too! We have an awesome camping area out in the back property complete with fire pit and outhouse. It is so gorgeous up here (as you know), but it is on the lonely side too. I've made some good friends up here, but because it is so vast we live eons away from each other. When I hear my 'southern' friends complain about having to drive a half hour to get somewhere, I chuckle to myself! A half hour! That's a short ride up here! <br />Miss you lady! I can't believe how big Liam is! He's not the tiny baby I once met!Lost in the Valley Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963864180226464111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8117465730143846575.post-14630127529106345862011-08-22T13:34:08.766-04:002011-08-22T13:34:08.766-04:00Jess, I wish you lived closer!

When I am with my friends who don't have kids, I love being able to talk about what is going in their lives. I am so lucky for that. There are a few that I feel I am growing apart from and, while it stinks, it is what it is. I am making a point of getting together next summer.

I feel left out of conversations and the like, because (and I've actually been told this) I wouldn't understand because I do not have children. Maybe so, but I sometimes feel like my friends with children hold themselves above me a little because of this fact. It hurts because I DO want children. I just haven't found the right person yet. AND! YES! I am freaking out, because I am heading into my mid-30's and am still single. It'd be nice if those same friends could pause and try to see it from my point of view as I TRY to see it from theirs.<br /><br />It sucks that you had to go through the "helpful" mom advice. I've heard that from other friends too.Lost in the Valley Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963864180226464111noreply@blogger.com
