A little getaway



James surprised me with a belated anniversary weekend in Kansas City. To say that I was excited would be a gross understatement. I was so worried that I was going to become sick before we left that I think I took the maximum dosage of Airborne for five straight days (has anyone else had any experience with that particular drug? I swear I felt so energized and good after a couple of days of taking it-and did I mention I had no coke? That's right. None. Zero. Nada. Zipola. And I felt great.) I was completely packed 24 hrs before we left, and let me tell ya', that speaks volumes. (There just might be a picture of me in the dictionary next to the word procrastinate, just maybe). We relaxed and ate lots of yummy food and just enjoyed being together. Our lives seem so busy with small children, to do lists, and (most recently) James job, that it really was a tremendous blessing just to be. And I am so very grateful to him, and my family for making it all happen!

Our documented attempt at trying to take a picture of ourselves in our room (I'm not very good at asking people to take pictures, I don't know why).


A little cut off.....


Oh, wow, that's a lot of flash.....


I'll just close that for you....


And finally success (well success measured by trying to take 'together shots' in the hotel's bathroom mirror. :)
