Retreating

It's that time of year. The time for a blogging break.

Jon and I have been the recipients of a free vacation. Totally unexpectedly, a friend's parents had their timeshare available this coming week. So, they gave it to us.

They really had a lot of convincing to do.

Free, beautiful, new. A fireplace and a hot tub in our suite.

Oh yeah, and we're going...

We went away for one night for our tenth anniversary, two nights for our 12th anniversary, and for our 15th, planned to go out of town. But we didn't. Life happened and we just didn't. So, this is our little getaway, honeymoon, anniversary.

After we decided that we could go, we had to decide that we actually would go. It's a daunting task to arrange childcare for three children who are not in public school. Even harder than that is the almost impossible task of making some sort of arrangements for the new dog.

Planning this, on such short notice, has proved to be trickier than I originally thought.

But if all goes as planned, after Jon is finished on Sunday, we will head south. We've never been away from our boys for this long. I'm sure we will miss them, but missing them is good. Being together with my husband is good.

Really good.

Now as soon as I proclaim that I am going to take a blogging break, I will surely be inspired with seven more stories before we actually leave on Sunday.

If so, I will check back in, but for now, I am over and out.

Blessings to you all.
