In a little less than 3 weeks…

We will be hopping a plane and kicking off a much needed vacation! First we will fly into Pensacola and stay one night at a Hampton Inn on the beach. Then we will make the hour commute to Gulf Shores were we will be relaxing at a beautiful beach house...right on the water for a few days. To say I'm excited is an understatement!

October 15th  marked 7 years of marriage. October 30th Jeremy turns 30…and December 9th I turn 30. We figure smack in the middle we’ll plop ourselves down somewhere relaxing and enjoy some much needed husband and wife time!

Yes we’re probably crazy for going to the beach in November instead of when it’s more popular to go. But there is something about going down when it’s not the busiest time of year…when we can enjoy a stroll on the beach by ourselves, perhaps. Or we can soak up some salty air without sunscreen and sweat. 

Also, this trip is all about retreating to some place quiet, relaxing, beautiful and peaceful…for a few solid days of time to recharge, regroup and celebrate the life we’ve built.  Just the two of us...our own schedule...sleeping in...watching the ocean roll by...and maybe finding a few fun adventures to get ourselves into. I am already dreading leaving the boys..and I absolutely know as soon as we get there I'll wish we'd brought them. BUT...I also know that time apart is healthy for everyone. And I think after nearly 14 years as a couple, 7 years of marriage, and 2 beautiful kids…it will be nice to sit back and enjoy a little time to reflect without any little misters needing this or that...or having a schedule to keep up with!  I'm pretty sure we won't know what to do with ourselves...but it'll be fun figuring it out! 

3 weeks and counting…Jer, I can’t wait :)
