vacaton

We just got home from a GREAT vacation. One that really tested me on different levels.
First-We decided at the very last minute to join Barbara and Mando up in Big Bear Fri night, Sat and Sun morning. This might not seem much to a lot of people. But for me a last minute decision to do something this big was HUGE. I had a GREAT time. I really enjoyed the weather, the company, the food and of course the drinks!!!! Makes me realize how lucky I am to have in-laws that enjoy including us on their vacatoin.
Second - One the first night in Newport I dropped my camera in the toilet. OK....as you can tell I take a million pictures everywhere we go. I love capturing memories of us for Aiden. But I dropped the damn phone in the damn toilet and instead of moping around about it. I kept my mouth shut, told Jimmy in private and moved on. I was shocked i didn't dwell on it at all. Luckily Barb and Mando were there to capture memories for me.
Third - I spent 8 days with my In-Laws and not at one point did I wish they weren't with us. I thought for sure that at some point I would of wanted our vacation to be just us. But I realized that I enjoy being around people who love us. I enjoy watching Aiden interact with everyone. I enjoy making memories with people. At one point Jimmy told me that he wanted to introduce his dad to some stranger as his best friend. I thought that was super sweet. Especially since I consider his mom one of my best friends. I just feel like I can be me with her...and that she really cares about me and Jimmy and Aiden.
Jimmy and i might not be perfect and some of our goals are probably different than most of yours. We might not own a home or drive our dream cars....But we live a life that I dreamed about as a little girl. ONe full of love and integrity. I believe in us and I bellieve in our dreams.
Jimmy on our 2nd Wedding Anniversary I want you to know that I am EXTREMELY greatful for EVERYTHING you have given me. I am so PROUD of you and PROUD to say you are my husband, my rock and my foundation. Thanks for making my dreams come true. I love you with everythign I have.
