Mark mentioned several times during harvest that he wanted to take a weekend and just get away when they were done in the field. Harvest was long and late this year. We tried planning a weekend earlier in the month, but there were Christmas parties and programs. We finally decided to take off for Des Moines right after Christmas. We stayed at the Holiday Inn near the Jordan Creek mall. It was a very cold weekend, we swam in the indoor pool, went to the mall shopping, and went to the movies.
We decided one night I would take Jayden and Jake to a kid movie and one night Mark would go to see his war movie. I decided long ago after numerous war movies, that I would rather not see any more. When I took the kids, we went to see “Marley and Me”. Nobody told me how this movie ended. I assumed it had a happy ending, but no! The dog dies, there was no baby puppies, or the dog gets better ending, he just dies. I felt like a terrible mom taking my kids to such a sad show. I felt the worst for my little 5 year old Jake. He didn’t cry, however he was very quiet when the movie was over. It was a lot for him to take in. Also, meanwhile Daddy was back at the hotel with Luke who had a blow out diaper. It never fails that when Mark watches Luke, he decides to have a B.M. Mark told the details, and it was not pretty. He had to hold Luke naked in the shower. It’s so good for him!
