With just a few hours left until I leave for my California trip and TONS of things to do, the only thing I can think about is how nice it is going to be to get away from the hectic things that I deal with on a daily basis! I love my husband and kids with all my heart, but sometimes they can bring a lot of stress into my life, and I’m sure I do the same for them at times too!
I’m about 98% packed, with just a few last minute details to take care of before we hit the road this evening. It’s going to be such a fun trip and I’m so excited to be making this trip with one of my best friends and her daughter as her daughter embarks on the latest journey of her life!
We’ll be making a few stops along the way and seeing a few of the finer sites this country has to offer. I won’t having to think about things like whether or not the dogs have enough food and water, dealing with my daughters latest melt down about how her hair looks or even things like the latest political news or home theater sconces. Nothing like those things will be a part of my life for the next 8 days, and I’m honestly really looking forward to it.
I hope I come home from this trip with less stress and a little more appreciation for the important things in my life as well as a stronger bond with a very special friend and her daughter for allowing me to be a part of such a special time in their lives!
I have a friend that is going to post my email updates to my other blog Just Simply Holly, so if you want to hear about how my trip is going please be sure to check in over there. In the mean time, after I submit this post, I’ll be setting it so that all comments are moderated, so if you make a comment to me please note that after about 10:00 PM tonight all comments will be left in moderation until I return home from my trip!
Take care everyone, see you in 8 days!
