250 miles for a hug

Yesterday the kids and I hopped in the van and drove down to Indiana for the day.  We got to see "auntie" Julie (good friend from college), and also catch a glimpse of "uncle" Jeff on his current worksite (outside renovations on a house).  

Even though we had to drive back last night, our 5-hour visit was simply wonderful.  We've kept in contact off and on the past few years in life's ups and downs, and I'm so thankful for her!  I'm thankful for my hubby too who trusted me with the van, the kids and 250 miles of road so I could spend some time with Jules (and a few hugs too). :-)    There's nothing like a Julie hug.
