I'm in full post-vacation blues mode. We had such a FANTASTIC weekend away. It was so relaxing and wonderful. We had really great food and our hotel room was perfect. We had two awesome mornings of surfing, when it was just me and John in the water - my perfect surfing dream come true. We had tons of time to talk without interruptions. Sigh. It was SOOOO nice.
It was refreshing and reassuring to be together all weekend and remember how much we enjoy each other. Once a kid comes along, sometimes you have to go on faith that you still like each other. It's not that you're not getting along; you're just getting along. You know what I mean? It's not easy to find time for a good conversation or even time focused on one another. Even when you have a date, sometimes you're both so tired, you're ready to veg out. Or, you spend the whole time catching up on day-to-day stuff and you don't talk about the other things that keep your relationship interesting- like ideas and dreams.
So, I'm extremely grateful for the time we had away together. A huge thank you to those who watched Baby Z and made it possible for us to go. It was a huge booster shot for our relationship. Here's to hoping it won't be another 10 years before we get to do it again. But if it is, we'll keep plugging away on faith and vitamins (dates) in the meantime.
