Choices

If only we could do everything we wanted to.  But sometimes time and/or finances dictate how much we can do. 
Paul had many obligations that he feels (rightly so) that he needs to attend to so not all his vacation days can be used in the ways we’d like to.  And we were using plenty of them.  Not to mention just a few (cough cough) financial hits we took over the course of the year.
It was heartbreaking that we could not go to my little sister, Lucy’s wedding.  We just couldn’t make it work.
Lucy and Robert were getting married in Southern California in August and we already two other obligations that month so we had to eliminate it from our appointment book.  *sob sob*
I do, however, know how to creep around on Facebook so I got to see some pictures from the big event.



And the family photos. . .
Cousins!


Oh, how I wish we could have all gone.  We can’t wait to meet Robert. . . but I am lucky that there were pictures so I could enjoy the spirit of it all
