Prompt: Defining moment. Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year.
I love the thought of being able to escape from my life as a mother and wife...so when my mom and I took a trip to Arizona this year I was elated to "get away" from it all.
Or so I thought...
I found that I wished I was at home....I had a defining moment while being a few thousand miles away...It hit me like a ton of bricks...as much as I like having my alone time...I will never...thats right never..attend another wedding without my husband again.
The mind is a fickle beast....because
before leaving for the trip...my mind filled with all these thoughts of being alone and semi-free to enjoy the trip and sights...but in all reality I wished I was with my husband and children, that they could have traveled on this trip along with me and we could have navigated the the ups and downs, hectic schedule, irritating children(at times) which is what makes the trips memorable. All the chaos that I try to escape is sometimes what defines me as a mother and wife.
Please don't get me wrong I love my mother and was filled with gratitude to be able to accompany her on this trip...but my husband is my partner and there is no one I would rather share these experiences with.
