I'm SO excited!!!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!! I'm so excited, I think my heart is going to burst!!! 2 weeks from today, David and I will be on vacation! Our 10th anniversary is coming up and my sister Kelli & her husband Scott agreed several months ago to watch our kids so we could get away. We've never lived with family in town, so we've NEVER been able to leave them and get away by ourselves. Plus, I'm usually pregnant or nursing someone I suppose! Anyways, our 10th anniversary lined up perfectly this summer - kids are at a good age, etc, so here we go!! We got a timeshare down in Delray Beach which is only about 30 minutes from where Kelli lives. We're going to have a week to ourselves while the kids have the time of their lives with Kelli & Scott (and their dog Chloe - boy are the kids excited about Chloe!) So I can't wait!!! We keep talking about how wonderful it will be to just be US - I'm sure we'll miss the kids and I'll probably be nervous a bit, but it will be such a nice recharging for me and my wonderful husband.

And then it gets better!!! The week after we get home, my oldest sister Kim, her husband, and their 4 kids are driving up (they live in Tampa) to DC to see my mom and spend the 4th of July up here. My youngest sister is going to fly up for the weekend, so we'll all have a party again!!! I LOVE it - I'm trying to convince Kim to let me bring her oldest daughter (Mary is 11) home with me when we drive back from FL. I would love to have her with me for a few days, so we'll see. I'm just so excited - I've never gotten to see my family this much because they live so far away, so I can't wait! Yippee!

Hello? I'm so jealous!! What happened to our swap idea? HA!! Just kidding! You guys are going to come back I'm sure two different people. I know you'll miss those babies, but there's nothing like getting time with your first love and yes you'll miss them to pieces, but enjoy that time!! And hurry up already...I need someone to be prego with me...I'm lonely over here! HA!

Awesome news, lady!! :) 10 years...sheesh, I feel like it was just yesterday that Megan and I got lost trying to find your church! ha, so much has changed in 10 years. You deserve a week long vaca.

I'm actually doing the same thing for my brother and sister in law...at the end of July I am flying up to keep my nieces for a week!! I'm so pumped!

I'm so jealous -- have a great time and I second all the sentiments about maybe not leaving prego -- but maybe afterwards -- what else are you going to fill all that time with, with no kids around? One can only run so much :)
