love revived

dont get me wrong jason and i love each other with all our hearts, it has never faded throughout these 13 years we have been together but with our extremely busy lives these day with the kids the house both of us working and me in school we havent been able to spend hardly any time together alone, SO...... we decided to take a little 4 night 5 day vacation away from all that life has given us to take time just for us and our relationship, and boy did we need it. so off we went. we headed to the mountains, we had a beautiful cabin with a hot tub that we thoroughly enjoyed on those cooler evenings, we did alot of shopping, and eating, talking and having a great time. we took a horse carriage ride one night and took the skylift to the top of the mountain on another night and both were so romantic. we were able to relax soak it all in and just enjoy each other without all the daily stress we are used to. it was soooo nice, and even though we both missed the kids terribly we hated to see it all end at the end of the week. it had been 5 years sice we had taken a vacation but it had been nearly 8 years since we had taken a vacation just the two of us and it was long over due and we both vowed that we would never let it be that long before we took one ever again.
now we are very excited about hopefully being able to take another trip to the same area come fall with the kids so that they can enjoy it as well, there were so many things there that i know the kids would love so a trip in the fall is the plan.
this trip also helped me clear y head a bit of all the crap i had been having to deal with from people i would rather not be associated with. and that was a big thing i was hoping would be taken care of.
we wouldnt have been able to do anything if it werent for jason and my mothers and sisters volunteering to take wonderful care of our kids while we were gone and since we had never been away from them that long we were afraid it would be a difficult task but it wasnt, they did really well and had alot of fun with the family as well, so it was a win win.
