I GOT TO SEE MY BABY!
I am seriously so in love with Ben. He is so gentle and kind and happy!
Me, best friend Rachel and her fiancee Cameron drove the three and a half hours to see Ben and his family this weekend. Ann made us the best chili I've ever had and Ben spun around in circles laughing at himself. He's so self-entertained but loved showing off to us too. We didn't think he would ever wind down for the night, but eventually he did and so we went to our hotel and went swimming. I had quite the day though (starting at 10:30 the night previous, then working then driving!) so I actually managed to fall asleep in the hot tub.
The next day, we went to a park by the river where Ben took his sweet time warming up to us but eventually was giggly and running around. Then we got to go see Derek's farming process! There was an endless supply of potatoes in sight being stored for winter. If you can imagine what 7,000 tons of potatoes look like, then triple it, and that's how many we saw. And we even got to bring 50 pounds home. My whole apartment smells like potatoes. It was so cool seeing how the whole process works and understanding the work ethic that Ben will eventually learn.
Oooh, also, Ben let me hold him for five minutes! He didn't even squirm or want anyone else until Derek showed up, but that's to be expected. But oh my goodness it was the best five minutes ever because he was actually choosing to let me love him!
Everyone who has their babies, hold them a little tighter for me.
