    I chose this question because this is how I felt for the first probably 5 years of marriage with Terry. Poor, pregnant or/and with a small baby, and Terry busier than I wanted him to be. I felt frustrated, tired, and a mess most days. I love the book so far, hope you all do too!

    I am like Bethany. I think I relate to feeling, for a long time (especially when Nick was in school in MN), that there was never an end to the long days. Nick would leave at 6:30a.m., come home to eat dinner with us, and be home to go to bed around 10:00p.m. He rarely saw the kids, and it was really stressful for him at school. Such was life for 5 years. There were glimpses of easier times between semesters or when we could slip home to ID for a visit, but that was it. The part that was different for me though was knowing already what I wanted (what we both wanted), and knowing that what we were doing at the time was the way to get us there.
    My favorite parts of this book are found in the little book that Grandma Rose kept. Love the insights.

    For me, I guess I related to Grandma Rose wanting everyone to be together at the farm. It made me think of the many get togethers of the Hanks family at my Grandma Hanks' house in Tetonia. Living without her husband for so long, my Grandma Hanks yearned and lived for those times when her family would come back home to visit. It was really what made life worthwhile for her, and I sensed her joy and her happiness when her family came back home to the farm - even if just for a short visit. It seemed to really fill up some empty places in her heart.

    I can really relate to the craziness of having a little one and traveling soon after and trying to get used to something so new and being good company. Wanting to make everyone happy and still keeping your sanity. I like that it showed so well that it's not just have a baby and life is simple and easy.

    Although, I also really liked that it showed the immediate connection between Grandma Rose and the baby.

    I related most to the feeling of "having" to go visit grandparents. I felt this way often growing up. It wasn't until grandma died that I started seeing my grandparents differently.
    I have a lot of favorite parts of this book. One of them comes at the very beginning when she relates our lives to a river - starting small and moving toward the unseen, changing and growing with obstacles and others along the way. I loved that part.
