Heaven
D & I have been on vacation since the 26th, and can I just say how amazing that has been? I don’t go back to work until July 5th….whaaaat! The original plan was to head up north to enjoy some peace and quiet, have a nice relaxing, affordable vacation. Well, those plans slipped through the cracks and we decided to stay home. The kids are spending this week off at their dads and we are going day to day. MJ’s birthday was a blast, we spent that at the water park before I had to surrender them to their father. Remember as a kid when you were able to run….and run….and play….but, never get tired??? Yeah, as an adult that really doesn’t happen. By 9pm I was ready for bed, and I mean falling asleep in the middle of sentences ready for bed.
Ah, but I digress…
After taking the kids to their dads, we were so excited to have our first day of sleeeeeep. (Mind you we have been getting no sleep between work and home life) D ended up being awake at 9 the next morning!!! I slept in…of course. So, while we decided to stay home, this has probably been the funnest vacation I’ve ever had. I am being spoiled to capacity, and I’m loving every minute of it. My birthday was the 28th…..don’t ask me how old I am, just sayin’, and from D I got two pairs of beautiful diamond earrings!!! Studs and dangles that match our rings. =D <—-that’s my ear to ear grin. THEN when I thought that was it….JUST KIDDING!!!! We went out for the day to drive and mosey around, stopped at a new thrift shop….5 new books for T hehe, then off to Michaels. Clearance is my kryptonite, I was in heaven….buttons, sewing kits, appliques, and more. Yep, I filled a bag and my love was helping me stuff it. I’m already on cloud 9 at this point, I mean diamond earrings and craft supplies who wouldn’t be, the next stop is a surprise…so I’m greedily drinking my iced cap waiting with anticipation. New Skool Tattoos. Sign me up!!!!! She surprised me by getting us both a tattoo with our signature symbol. It was supposed to be our wedding present to us, and the fact that she was ready and willing to get it on my birthday practically brought tears to my eyes. Anything beyond that is a huge blur to me, I was floating….literally. This year was the best birthday I’ve ever had, I am so grateful to my gorgeous girl for making that happen for me.
Baby, thank you for all that you do and have done, I wish this vacation never had to end. I love you with my whole heart and soul. <3
