Pockets of time. Pockets of space. That’s been our goal recently. Little moments, here and there, when we can take a step back, turn off our phones, close our laptops, forget the email chime and Facebook ding, and just be. Just be. Be with the people we love most in this world. The ones who’ve always been there and always will be. Our parents. Brothers and sisters. Niece and nephew. Our dear friends. With our go-go-go pace and we’ll-sleep-when-we’re-dead lifestyle, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of one thing after the next and make time for everything and everyone else — except for them.

We love living life in the fast lane. We thrive on new adventures and big challenges. We’re in a season of life where we’ve got an insatiable zest for it. We’re seeing new places and meeting new people (usually on little to no sleep), and we know that we’re blessed beyond belief to do it all — together. We couldn’t be more thankful for our families who still remember us in soccer shorts and ballet flats, for our friends who knew us in graduation gowns and caps, because they’re the ones we reach out to for rest. For pockets of time. And pockets of space. When we feel like we’ve gone 14 rounds with life, they’re the ones who welcome us home, hold us tight, tell us they love us and that they’re proud, fill up our tanks, and send us back into the world patched up — and with our heads up, too.

Last week, Jordan spent a few days in the Colorado wild camping and whitewater rafting with his dad and brothers. He’s not the camping type. Not by a long shot. So being disconnected from the world was a stretch and a struggle. But it was nice, too. Because, for the first time in a long time, he got to laugh like a little  boy again. With nothing to do, he and his brothers, like when they were children, made their own fun again. The laughs were easy and the smiles weren’t few. And, with so much slow-moving time, the conversations were as deep as the river. Bonds were retied, rebuilt, and reformed. It was nice.

Amy had a staycation with the girls at a local resort and held down the business fort (while Jordan was building a real one), and, when he got back, we spent the Fourth of July with his family, and all day Sunday volunteering at church, grocery shopping together, and all night at Amy’s parents house talking, eating, and watching old home movies. It was all so good for the soul.

As we enter our busiest season of life, when we’ll be on the road more than we’ll be home, for as hard as it is and as much as it hurts, we know that we’ll have to say “no” to some things so that we can say “yes” to others, and when we do have a free pocket of time or pocket of space, we’ll be sure to fill them with our families and friends.
