Comfort

So... We have made the annual winter trip to the frozen tundra; South Dakota via Minnesota. We flew in last night, LATE last night, and stayed at Jen's and got up early to make the 5 hour drive to Aberdeen. During my short stay in Minneapolis I had a million thoughts running through my mind about why I love staying at Jen's house. I will just mention a few:

• It doesn't matter when I show up, the door is open and I am welcome.


• My room is always ready with my favorite smelly candles burning and my bed is so comfy with nice, clean, crisp sheets and fluffy down pillows and comforter. (I call it MY room, not sure if everyone else realizes it's mine!!)


• There are always two beautiful girls and sometimes three (unless she is already in bed) that run to the door happy to see me.


• If Jen is in bed, I can just crawl in next to her for hugs and she never minds that I wake her.


• Anna and Shiva also come out to greet me (not Mia, typical bitchy cat).


• If I need something I can always find it just by looking, and I never feel like I shouldn't be looking in any particular place (I know what drawer to stay out of!!).


• Box of tissue in the bathrooms. Some people don't know how important this is and just so you know.... toilet paper is NOT the same as tissues!


• Cuddles with Autumn and Aspen.


• And my favorite.... When Jen hugs me goodbye in the morning, I can smell her for the rest of day and be comforted by all these things.

I can't wait to arrive back at her house on Saturday for it to all start over again.
