stroll around the mall

haven't been to a mall in a really long time. the last time was probably back in december with the girls. it made me think about a lot of things today. how nice it is that we get to spend our days as a family, it won't last much longer. i also wondered when i'd ever be able to go out again just me and nj like we used to, that might still be a while. it also made me think of the last time i was at that mall, sharing a pretzel with auntie ellen and nj's girlfriend (hee, hee). we miss them. and last (but far from least), the mall gives me fond memories of spending time with nj's auntie raechel, and her judah and emiah. this was before nj... i'd go with them to walk around, play with the kids in the play area, get boba, and share a pretzel. hmm, all my mommy-mall buddies have moved away! well today, i'm kind of glad that i haven't been to the mall in a long time... everything seems so expensive and i was so tired just from walking around. at least nj enjoyed riding the escalators and sharing a pretzel with me. he ate most of it!
