I did it!!

Well, I finally got the much needed vacation I have been looking for. Last Thursday I flew down to Arizona to see my very dear friend (she is really like the sister I never had).[ --I am sure to suffer some crap (sorry) from my family, since most of them are in Arizona and I didn't see any of them. Before you start in on me...I wasn't actually in the valley.] Ok, back to my vacation. It was great! I left all my kiddos behind and her husband promised her she wouldn't have to worry about hers at all. What GREAT husbands we have!!
It was rainy the whole time I was there but it was ok. We talked and talked went to lunch and talked and talked some more, she showed me around her little town and we talked and talked some more. Who knew two women could talk so much. We also got in a lot---maybe too many if that is possible--chick flicks. I almost felt young again. Stayed up late, slept in. It was awesome.
We've decided to make in an annual event (that is if we can convince the guys). I really think getting away for awhile was extremely therapeutic. I come home with determination to be a better mom, and wife. Why wouldn't Jared want me to go right?

  1. How fun! I love girls trips. There is something about spending time with women that is rejuvenating. Chick flicks, talking, eating, what more could a girl ask for?

  2. Sounds soooo nice- I'm jealous. I think every woman needs that once in a while. When we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of our families, right?

  3. Ok I have already talked to Ryan. He will watch my kids and I'll just come over to your house and stay awhile. It sounds like so much fun.

  4. Way to go Jared, bravo... now I'll have to hear it from my wife.

    Just Kidding! I'm glad you were able to do that Tricia. Especially so that when I come to visit you will be "rejuvinated" and can cater to my every whim :-)
