All year, I've been trying to make the most of the last year of my twenties. Since welcoming Maeve in to the world, having any time to myself has been a rare commodity. So, back in April, I proclaimed that the best birthday gift for me this year would be a trip without the kids. Tony looked around and found a three day cruise to the Bahamas that matched our fall break. So, it was a done deal. We were going!
As the trip got closer and closer, I started to panic. How could I ever be away from my little ones? Up unil this point, I had only left Maeve overnight just one time and that was less than 24 hours. Then, when I thought about how much I would have to pack and prepare, my panic grew greater. I even asked Tony the week before we left if we could just postpone it till summer time. He was a little hurt by my request. I think mostly because we would lose our money, but also because he had planned the perfect trip for us.
So, we left and everything worked out just right. Two days of relaxing and just doing exaclty what I wanted felt like a whole week! It was a break that we all needed. The babies got spoiled by all the time with grandparents, and Tony and I realized that without all the stresses of life, we really do enjoy each other's company.
One more week of being twenty something. Here's to my next 30 years!
